[03] For Sponsors
Integration as alpha.
Delivered from Day 0.
Sponsors do not lose deals on the thesis. They lose them in the integration. OpCadence moves integration from a cost center managed by consultants to a value creation engine owned by the sponsor and instrumented by software.
What you spend today
Today versus with OpCadence.
Today
What integration looks like today.
- —A consulting engagement that bills two to three percent of deal value
- —A weekly status deck produced by an analyst on Wednesday for a Friday meeting
- —A first clean board pack at Day 120
- —An acquired CEO who is meeting overloaded by Day 30
- —A back-office team that is the same size at Day 60 as it was at Day 0
- —A first wave synergy that lands somewhere between Day 90 and Day 180
With OpCadence
What OpCadence replaces it with.
- ▸A fixed fee plus subscription, sixty to ninety basis points of deal value
- ▸A live dashboard. Friday is for decisions, not status.
- ▸A first clean board pack inside Day 30
- ▸An acquired CEO who runs the integration in the cadence and gets time back
- ▸Back-office headcount replanned around agents by Day 60
- ▸First wave synergy in the financials by Day 60
