    Frequently asked questions

    With our GCC-in-a-Box model, we can go from kickoff to operational team in 12 weeks. This includes entity setup, workspace, hiring, onboarding, and governance structure. The timeline aligns with typical PE 100-day plans.

    Yes. Our Shared Services GCC model is designed for exactly this. Shared infrastructure and operational costs with individual team management for each portfolio company, maximizing cost efficiency across smaller holdings.

    We track engineering cost savings, productivity gains, and operational efficiency improvements against the value creation plan. Typical metrics include cost per engineer vs. onshore equivalents, velocity improvements, and total annual savings.

    A well-structured GCC is a value-add at exit. It demonstrates operational maturity, cost discipline, and scalable capability. We design GCCs with clean governance and documentation that supports due diligence and transition.

    Both. We can engage at the fund level with operating partners to design a portfolio-wide strategy, or work directly with portfolio company CTO/CIOs on individual GCC buildouts.

    Unlike outsourcing, a GCC gives the portfolio company direct ownership of the team, IP, and processes. There is no vendor margin, no contract renegotiation risk, and full alignment with the value creation thesis.

    Dedicated GCCs work well for companies needing 25+ engineers. For smaller needs, our Shared Services model allows companies with as few as 8-10 engineers to benefit from the GCC model with shared overhead.

    Yes. Many PE-backed companies need legacy modernization. We build GCC teams specifically skilled in cloud migration, monolith-to-microservices, data platform modernization, and DevOps transformation.
