Description de l'image

Client: Latour Capital (LTC), Sector: Asset Management / Private Equity, Period: January 2023 – November 2023

Seamless IT Transition for a Global Acquisition. In a strategic international carve-out project, ACVEDA supported Latour Capital in building a tailored IT infrastructure for a complex acquisition spanning 30 countries. From the initial planning stages, we established a detailed roadmap aligned with our client's business ambitions. With a results-driven approach, our team secured each phase of the transition, minimized service interruptions, and optimized costs through negotiations with an international IT partner. The outcome: an agile infrastructure perfectly suited to the acquisition’s demands, providing Latour Capital with the stability and flexibility required to drive further growth.

  • Context

    • Latour Capital (LTC), an asset management company based in Paris managing €2.6 billion, acquired a company operating in 30 countries. This strategic acquisition required the complete separation of the acquired company’s IT systems from those of the seller, a complex process known as a carve-out. The goal was to ensure a smooth transition to an independent IT infrastructure, minimizing operational risks and guaranteeing service continuity.
