Today’s Private Equity (PE) market is highly competitive; with more firms with more cash chasing fewer targets, purchase prices are going up while expectations for exit values remain high. At the same time, PE firms need to compete for uniqueness in a crowded market.
About This Insight
According to studies, the more transformations a company takes, the greater its chances for success. But less than one-third of respondents in a McKinsey survey said their companies’ transformations were successful. Similarly, out of the 89% of board directors who reported having embedded digital in all of their business growth strategies, Gartner found that only 35% had achieved or were on track to achieving their digital transformation goals.
One-size-fits-all technology implementations fall short in addressing unique requirements, as they overlook the nuances that make each business distinct. By prioritizing customized solutions that are right-sized, organizations can harness the power of technology tailored specifically to their needs. This ensures the seamless integration of every aspect of their operations.
It is in this context that Trajectory’s approach to “optimal customization for unique businesses” becomes a game changer, paving the way for success in today’s competitive landscape.
