Case Study: a PE-owned international specialty chemical distributor achieves digital transformation and cybersecurity gains with Messina Group

A $100M international specialty chemical distributor accelerates growth with Messina Group

The Messina Group was engaged by a private equity-owned international specialty chemical distributor facing a challenge with its undocumented, poorly performing custom ERP platform. After the sale to private equity, the company lacked the in-house expertise to support or develop the system. The CEO needed a partner to perform an IT due diligence assessment to decide whether to keep or replace the ERP and to identify new digital initiatives, with a strong emphasis on enhancing cybersecurity.

Messina Group conducted a thorough assessment that identified the platform's weaknesses and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. They provided a digital transformation roadmap, leading the client to outsource the platform's support and development to Messina's Strategic Services team. This solution integrated robust cybersecurity protocols. As a result, the client achieved double-digit revenue growth, increased business resilience, and was able to execute further phases of the roadmap to accelerate growth.
