Services

DJR services are designed to maximize owners’ return on investment through the complete lifecycle of real estate assets. Our services are uniquely designed to drive alignment and collaboration between business teams, technology teams, management, and ownership.

DUE DILIGENCE

Are you buying a business saddled with technology debt? Given tech disruption, will identified mergers and acquisitions support your investment thesis?  We assess the operating models and revenue optimization practices of target companies so that you have a clear view of potential quick wins and likely challenges. In collaboration with your Executive Team, we then architect a target Operating Model that will best support your revenue goals. As a final step, DJR defines an IT-Enabled Roadmap that focuses on realizing top revenue optimization opportunities for your team as soon as possible.

For portfolio acquisitions, we architect, and support your team in executing an optimized on-boarding processes that increases your deal velocity and ability to realize the full revenue generation potential of the portfolio.

DIAGNOSTICS, Audits and FINDINGS

Using a standard framework, we assess your organization in domains that have the greatest impact on ROI:  Revenue Optimization, Distribution, Ecommerce, IT Operations and Enterprise Technology.

By benchmarking your scores against similar organizations in your vertical, DJR helps you to understand opportunities for improvement and where to “hold the line”. Because we also assess your in-flight projects and practices, you’ll get immediate value from findings that are strategic, in-depth, actionable and that will inform your IT-Enabled Roadmap.

OPERATING MODEL Roadmap and PROFIT OPTIMIZATION

DJR conducts a lightweight enterprise analysis of pain points – policy and technology limitations that prevent your organization from reaching its full revenue potential. In collaboration with your Executive Team, we transform this analysis into an IT-enabled Roadmap that defines the size, scope, and sequence of key strategic efforts that will have the greatest impact on revenue optimization.

Because it is cross-functional and informed by prior Diagnostics and Findings, your Roadmap also delivers strategic executive alignment for the duration of the plan, typically 12 – 24 months. Once the Roadmap is active, DJR monitors progress by providing the domain Advisors needed to course correct when needed, prepare for board meetings, and ensure your overall success.
