Information Technology A company's technology organization should support its business strategy, not constrain it. Bain focuses first on the strategic needs of our clients' businesses to determine the technology capabilities needed to support their long-term goals. We help companies confidently address technology-related decisions and ensure their IT organizations and operating models are agile and effective, equipping them to cut through the noise of fleeting technology trends to create enduring results.

How Digital Technology Supercharges Zero-Based Redesign Automation and decision-making technologies are evolving rapidly, expanding the potential of a clean-slate approach to cost reduction.

For Traditional Enterprises, the Path to Digital and the Role of Containers Companies that invest in their digital maturity are able to differentiate and drive business outcomes.

The Path to Digital Maturity The most digitally mature companies are eight times more likely to gain market share than the least digitally mature. Here’s how containers can help facilitate a digital transformation. What we do Our team includes more than 200 technology professionals that have completed more than 1,000 engagements across industries and technologies. We draw on this global experience to help solve companies' most complex technology-related challenges, including how to build their businesses in a digital age. Our experts are especially adept at helping companies through major business transformations or re-inventions of their technology organizations to become more nimble and agile. We bring a range of technology capabilities that help our clients address four key business situations:

Bain Rebooting IT: Transform IT by focusing on business priorities, and making sure your system architecture, operating model and costs match these priorities. IT Performance Improvement: Underperforming IT negatively affects business performance. Bain works with companies seeking to address their IT efficiency problems to not only reduce costs, but to improve and develop capabilities that enable innovation and agility. IT M&A: Technology-related synergies are key to successful mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and separations, but too often they are overlooked early in the deal. We help companies plan and manage the changes in their systems to accommodate changes in business structure. IT Project Effectiveness: Bain helps clients maximize the business results from major technology initiatives, including turnaround programs. We help executives evaluate the case for investment, set up projects for success—or place current projects on the right track—to ensure they capture value when implementing new systems and programs. We bring a full range of experience and experts to each client engagement to help companies navigate their specific business situation. Our capabilities include strategic planning, digital and operating model challenges, business architecture development, big data analysis, IT sourcing and procurement, IT organization and governance and IT metrics and dashboards. Bain's Private Equity group also performs due diligence on technology organizations when evaluating PE and M&A deals. Our approach At Bain, we value technology as an integral and potentially differentiating component of a business. We help clients transform their organizations; enabling holistic digital strategies to catch up with consumer demands, maximizing value in turnaround situations and ultimately, developing technology operating models that make organizations more agile. Our technology projects start with business strategy. We believe that a company’s corporate strategy both guides and is influenced by its technological capabilities. Our industry experts take a unique approach to engagements by working with business leaders to initially understand corporate goals and then determine what technological capabilities, systems and support they require to succeed.

Client results Bain's clients share our passion for results and it shows in their success. Companies that outperform the market like to work with us. Learn more by reading our featured client results stories.

Retailer revamps IT operating model to compete in the digital age Bain helped a major specialty retailer revamp its market approach and develop its tech-enabled capabilities to capture growth.

Salvaging an IT outsourcing deal gone bad Our banking client’s inefficient legacy IT threatened to hamper a potential deal. Bain helped drive negotiations and rebase financial analysis—the resulting IT solutions were aligned with the business and corporate strategy.

Utility benefits from better billing and IT systems Bain helped a leading gas and electricity retailer client align its IT resources to capture the benefits of scale economies in its operations.

Taking cost out of mission-critical IT A leading electronic securities exchange had recently acquired its leading competitor and needed a plan for integrating the two companies' technologies. We redesigned the client's technology platform and IT architecture, which contributed to 50% cost savings.

A pharmaceutical company transforms IT The migration to a more advanced technology platform led to annual run-rate benefits of 2% of revenue and a $4 million one-time inventory reduction for our pharmaceuticals client.

Aligning a new IT platform with new business priorities Legacy IT platforms could not support the needs of a newly-created holding company. Bain recommended a new IT architecture and governance structure based on a standard software solution.
