Lasting Value at the Speed of Private Equity
The primary role of BNM as digital operating partner in private equity is the timely delivery of
enduring value.

Digital better serves existing customers and attracts new customers while data drives new product and service combinations. Resources are freed to work on larger opportunities.
- Increase Margins
Ecommerce and digital customer self-service lower OPEX while new data analytics drive digital pricing transformation and lower cost-of-goods sold.

Digital is the new multiplier of multiples for B2B portcos. It delivers new revenue at higher margins and a lower cost-to-serve. Digital value is prized among potential buyers as most B2B sectors lag in digital capabilities.
About the Digital Operating Partner
What is a Digital Operating Partner?

The digital operating partner’s primary role is to create lasting value by implementing digital business, digital change management, data analytics and related technologies within previously traditional (non-digital) portfolio companies.
Why use a Digital Operating Partner?
A digital operating partner bridges gaps in digital expertise that otherwise strong leadership teams may lack. A digital operating partner helps ensure that demonstrable digital value is on the books well within traditional, private equity hold periods.
What does a Digital Operating Partner do?
A digital operating partner helps a company create new digital business channels to increase enterprise value. This includes working directly with senior leadership to devise and implement digital strategy, orchestrate technology implementation, capture digital data to drive decision making, and ensure overall project success. While a digital operating partner must have a wide range of business and technology expertise, the role is NOT directly involved in marketing, information technology (IT) or cybersecurity.
