Positioned For Value

ELP worked with an industry-leading water software company serving thousands of clients including the largest utilities, consultancies, and refining plants around the world. It was critical for them to shape and blend two cultures which required alignment, accountability, and teamwork so that they were positioned to grow and evolve.

Executives engaged ELP to develop strategies to support the blending of the two companies and two cultures. Alignment, accountability and a sense of urgency were critical for their continued success and growth as water industry leaders. Additionally, the company needed to meet challenging revenue targets to position themselves as an attractive acquisition target for other companies.
