Mission-Critical Solutions For Enterprise Efficiency

As the VP & CFO of a leading tooling manufacturing group headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with ACOMDev, LLC, and am writing to recommend them for their exceptional IT support and private equity acquisition including due diligence process. Our engagement with ACOMDev began amidst complex circumstances, necessitated by our planned acquisition of an international company with locations in the U.S., India, and Germany.
ACOMDev's team, led by Gene Horlander, was instrumental in conducting a comprehensive review of the potential acquisition, particularly in assessing its IT services, systems, and security posture. Their expertise was evident as they swiftly undertook on-site evaluations, culminating in a detailed action plan. This plan not only identified key issues but also outlined a timeline and budgetary considerations for proposed solutions.
The impact of ACOMDev's involvement has been significant. Their strategic recommendations on security enhancements were pivotal in securing approval from our investment group, banks, and insurance providers, thereby facilitating a crucial step in our international expansion strategy. Their approach was not only thorough but also tailored to our specific needs and challenges.
Given our highly positive experience, I am confident in recommending ACOMDev to organizations seeking robust IT solutions, interim leadership roles such as CIO or CTO, or managing complex due diligence, migration, and acquisition processes. Their commitment to excellence and transformative strategies are valuable assets for any business operation.

Our collaboration with ACOMDev began when we sought their expertise in deploying Power BI for advanced analytics reporting. Their team demonstrated remarkable proficiency by swiftly assessing our data situation and designing an SQL-based reporting system.

This system not only effectively manages our U.S. daily production data but also integrates data from our manufacturing sites in Belgium and China through SQL replication services.

The impact of their work has been profound. The Power BI reports, meticulously monitored for uninterrupted operation by ACOMDev, are dispatched daily to our executives and stakeholders, ensuring timely and accurate decision-making.

This system's reliability and user-friendly design have been instrumental in enhancing our responsiveness to customer needs, reducing costs, and boosting profits.
