Software and internet

Online commerce is driving demand for web-oriented services and infrastructure. New opportunities are emerging as vendors court an increasingly global marketplace through digital delivery of products, goods, and services. As an investor in these industries, SGE enables businesses to achieve more with less as they compete in the fast-paced market environment.
 
SIG is a voracious consumer and early adopter of leading technologies, with over 500 technology professionals on hand identifying and implementing cutting edge software and networking platforms. Our team leverages their industry insight and expertise as we evaluate new technologies and guide our portfolio companies towards growth and profitability.

We specialize in:

Vertical software applications
Software as a service
Technology-enabled service offerings
Enterprise infrastructure
Security
Small business infrastructure
Healthcare management platforms
Media and advertising platforms
Consumer applications

Within these sectors we are pursuing the following investment themes:

  • Increasing use of SaaS services and technology-enabled services to eliminate internal processes and resources.

  • The success of new vertical application providers particularly in domains where significant levels of domain expertise and focus is required.

  • Use of third-party applications, components and business services that are easily integrated through API’s enabling dramatic cross-selling, business partnering and brand utilization that were previously not feasible.

  • New business models and pricing schemes that radically commoditize legacy industries.

  • Move to the cloud to eliminate capital expenditure, enhance and lower operating expenses.
