How does ECI help with internationalisation?

The opportunity in new geographies can be huge with the right focused strategy and execution. We help management teams build conviction on their course and navigate this journey, offering hands on support on a range of organic and acquisitive growth capabilities.

ECI’s New York office were crucial really in helping us explore the US district market, reaching out to school districts over there, showcasing CPOMS to them and asking all the right questions. When it then came to speaking to a potential buyer pool, we were aware of what the needs were, and could showcase to them how CPOMS could be applicable to a market they were already in.

One area that was a big project that we worked with ECI on was to launch MiQ in Asia and the Commercial Team were invaluable, helping us find consultants and even all the sort of legalities and operational aspects of setting up entities in those markets. They really held our hand in doing that.

Management teams often look at international growth, after establishing leadership positions in their home market, and ECI is there to help. Whether it is demonstrating the US opportunity to potential acquirers of safeguarding software business CPOMS; sourcing and executing on US acquisitions for Moneypenny; or identifying and prioritising US regional markets for expansion with MiQ – we support management teams in defining and delivering on the potential for international growth.
