The time when it was possible for Private Equity funds to buy company’s stakes at a low price and selling at a higher price is over: competition is intense and multiple arbitrage’s opportunities are less and less frequent in this market where prices are growing. Private Equity fund’s managers need, more than ever, special insights and tools to find value where competitors can’t. Investors in Private Equity need also skills to take asset at a good price and create value in order to boost their return on investments. As Foster said in 1986, the adoption of new technologies within an organization creates in many cases a sustainable competitive advantage. We will see in this seminar paper that effectively, new digital tools and technologies can optimize and improve many processes and (repetitive) daily-tasks in Private Equity funds, from the back to the front office, but also some complex missions such as the investment decision itself. New technologies are not only cost-reducer costs and time-server, they can also improve the quality, the accuracy and the reliability of the operations. If Private Equity funds are still lagging behind other financial institutions such as Banks or Capital market investors, executives are aware of this and are trying to catch up and take shift of digitalization in order to remain competitive, by investing in it.
