PE Value and Portfolio Creation, big four Accountancy firm
Impact
Since using Altrata’s Board Insights and Mapping tool, BoardEx, the value creation team has been able to fully leverage its team’s combined relationships and those of their wider colleagues. In the early stages of using BoardEx, it became obvious the value this platform would bring to the team because of its accuracy and reliability.
While there were several large cap deals in-process under high pressure, the team was quickly able to leverage the BoardEx platform to find warm connections and gather organizational insights, which the team found very intuitive and easy to use.
Understanding investments of tracked PE firms and their portfolio companies played a pivotal role for the team to gain key insights.
BoardEx easily integrates with other tools utilized by the firm to provide a complete picture of individuals, organizations and deals being researched. However, BoardEx is the team’s first preference because it’s the only platform that provides relationship details on individuals that are directly connected to the colleagues at the firm.
