An 18-year digital transformation firm operating globally across the United States, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Dubai, and India, Trajectory Group specializes in high-stakes Salesforce and NetSuite implementations, complex platform integrations, and technology due diligence for corporate acquisitions.

A Practice Purpose-Built Around Three Buyer Personas

Trajectory Group structures its practice directly around three core buyer profiles rather than generic service buckets: Private Equity Investors, Mid-Market Operating Companies, and Fast-Growing Enterprises.

This structural focus ensures tailored execution across distinct buying motions:

Buyer CategoryPrimary Business NeedEngagement Model & Focus
Private Equity FirmsTech due diligence, post-merger integration, EBITDA expansionPre-acquisition audit, risk mitigation, portfolio enterprise value
Operating CompaniesERP replacement, process modernization, operational scaleCore NetSuite/Salesforce deployment, workflow automation
Fast-Growing BusinessesScalable infrastructure, API integration, data accuracyModern cloud stack, eliminating manual workarounds
Technical Due Diligence: Protecting Enterprise Value Before Close

The centerpiece of Trajectory Group’s Private Equity practice is Digital Due Diligence and Systems Integration Roadmapping, a strategic capability missing from many traditional implementation consultancies.

Financial and legal audits are standard in every M&A transaction. Technology due diligence, however, is frequently overlooked. Trajectory uncovers critical IT risks, unrecorded technical debt, and integration roadblocks before deal execution.

By identifying brittle custom code, data migration hurdles, and manual operational patches prior to signing, Trajectory gives deal teams the leverage needed to price risk accurately and protect portfolio EBITDA.

“Financial due diligence tells you what a company spent; technical due diligence tells you what it will cost to grow. When private equity firms bring us in before close, we aren’t just uncovering hidden technical debt, we are giving deal teams a clear, executable roadmap to protect EBITDA and scale the business from Day 1.” 

— Alex Olano, CEO & Managing Partner, Trajectory Group 


Why Technical Health Matters to Non-Selling Owners

Even for founders and owners not actively seeking an exit, system architecture directly impacts company valuation and long-term succession.

Key takeaway: If an institutional buyer were to inspect your technology stack during due diligence, those systems are actively contributing to, or detracting from, your enterprise value today. Clean data, documented workflows, and decoupled system architectures allow any operator to run the business smoothly, driving immediate operational returns while securing maximum transaction readiness.


Rescues, Integrations, and Fixing Failed Deployments

When CRM and ERP implementations stall or breach budget, Trajectory provides targeted System Optimizations and Rescues.

In one representative engagement for a compliance software enterprise, Trajectory unified independently deployed Salesforce and NetSuite environments. The engagement eliminated severe data mismatches and revenue recognition errors, delivering unified operational reporting and creating a scalable integration blueprint that enabled the onboarding of a subsequent acquisition within eight months.

Whether evaluating a target acquisition, fixing a derailed software deployment, or scaling core business systems, technology decisions directly dictate enterprise value. By bridging the gap between transaction-level technical due diligence and hands-on execution across Salesforce and NetSuite, Trajectory Group ensures that software investments protect margins, eliminate friction, and accelerate sustainable growth.
