We help guide strategy and create value for businesses as they leverage technology in the digital revolution.
Sectors
Software & Tech-enabled Services
Software & tech-enabled businesses form a major part of AMR’s 30+ years of strategy consulting expertise, interlinking with Workflow, Information & Decision Tools, and Media & Events.
We specialise in the software that underpins the operations of all modern businesses
e.g. Cybersecurity & IT services, enterprise resource planning (ERP), business intelligence (BI), marketing technology, financial management systems (FMS), and Governance, Risk, and compliance (GRC).
- In our Clean & Niche Industrials practice, we also support a wide range of technology-enabled services and industrial technology groups that are adding value-added software to their hardware offerings.
- Within our Workflow, Information & Decision Tools practice, we are strategic consulting experts in industry-specific software solutions. Software in this context is used to serve up information through increasingly intelligent search tools, data visualization and analytics. Software can also be used to process large datasets which drive specialist decision support tools.
- Within our Events Ecosystem & Technology practice we use our unrivalled understanding of the broad events industry to support event tech and other software businesses to shape their strategies and offerings to meet diverse needs.
Our consulting expertise
AMR is well-versed in navigating the complex and rapidly evolving software market. This includes defining use cases and understanding where applications sit within workflows and interplay with other systems. We also have extensive experience in pin-pointing the unique qualities of tech-enabled software businesses compared to competitors and alternatives. Part of this skill includes assessing the extent to which human support in those businesses is essential or can be replaced by automation or analytics over time.
Who we work with
We provide advisory services to private equity and corporate clients, who are looking to enter or grow in the software market. We work with disruptors seeking to accelerate revenue growth and also with incumbents that are looking to manage competitive threats or find ways to become disruptors themselves.
