Athlone Ventures

Athlone Ventures delivers a strong strategy and management core competence to create focus and traction for potential technology and telecommunications investment opportunities that demonstrate strong innovative technological capabilities, compelling products and demonstrable high growth.

Specific engagements include:

Operations Outsourcing: Traditionally, when the economic climate is difficult, outsourcing always returns to the top of the corporate agenda as a viable means of cutting operational expenditure, and freeing up capital. Across industries, companies struggle with a painful cocktail of debt, overcapacity and inflated acquisitions, and are looking to cut costs dramatically, by shedding people, restructuring finances or by re-organising their business methods. Athlone Ventures provides services and resources required to both accelerate growth and optimise existing capabilities, processes and IT infrastructure.

Business Processes and IT Outsourcing: The Athlone Ventures team has worked in operations roles in Telecoms, Utilities and Technology companies and has established a number of alliances with access to an international network. Clients are able to rationalise business processes and re-engineer the IT systems in parallel. Typically, clients achieve 20-25% savings from outsourcing alone leaving them free to focus on core competencies such as the development, sales and marketing of products and services .

While technology & telecommunications companies in the SOHO / SME segments demonstrate great proficiency in technological development, they typically lack the senior management resources, experience, and network to develop a clear growth strategy and roadmap to success.

Athlone Ventures provides top-line growth, strategy, execution and risk management experience to ensure that the right strategy is built to maximise shareholder value.
