The flagship engagement
Transformation as a Service.
We work with leadership over 18 to 24 months to rebuild the operating layer of the company: ERP stabilization, reporting, workflow automation, AI assistance, documentation, security posture, and fractional executive technology leadership.
Why one-off projects fail
Operating modernization is not a project. It is a path.
A dashboard cannot fix a fragile ERP. A chatbot cannot fix undocumented workflows. A single report cannot fix key-person dependency.
So we work in phases. Each phase earns the next. The first 90 days prove the path and build the foundation. The next 12 months expand the operating layer. The full 18 to 24 month engagement creates real operating leverage.
This is for companies that need more than a project. They need a partner that can stay with the transformation long enough to make it real.
The phase model
Five phases, each earning the next.
Assessment first. Stabilize the highest risks. Wrap the legacy ERP. Amplify with AI. Transform how leadership runs the business.
Assess
We find the real operating constraints: ERP fragility, reporting gaps, manual workflows, key-person risk, AI readiness.
Stabilize
We target the highest-risk workflows first. Mirrored reporting, intake validation, exception queues, reconciliation, backups.
Wrap
We build the modern operating layer around the legacy system. Cleaner dashboards, queues, workflows, interfaces.
Amplify
We add AI assistance where the foundation is ready. Drafting, summarizing, routing, explaining, checking, training.
Transform
Leadership runs the business through a more visible, resilient, AI-era operating model with less hero dependency.
The 3-tier offer funnel
A right-sized first step, then a real partnership.
Every engagement starts small and earns its way up. No one signs a multi-year transformation contract on day one.
Tier 1
Operating System Assessment
Free, brief, no commitment. We map the operating constraints and identify the highest-leverage starting point. Output is a prioritized transformation path, not a sales pitch.
Tier 2
90-Day Operational Command Center
The paid first phase. 90 days of focused work to map systems, build the first reporting database, launch AI brain v1, capture key SOPs, and define the modernization roadmap.
Tier 3
Business OS Partnership
The full 18 to 24 month engagement. Fractional CTO/CIO/CISO/COO leadership combined with senior implementation capacity. Quarterly value reviews tied to revenue capacity per employee.
The fractional transformation office
Not one consultant. Not one developer. A transformation team.
Most mid-market companies cannot easily hire the full team they need to modernize at the AI-era pace.
Alpenglow Partners brings senior capability across architecture, security, data, AI, and operations as a unified transformation office. We supplement the internal team, bring fresh energy, and challenge complacency while respecting the people who carried the business this far.
You stay with one accountable partner. The team behind us handles the depth.
Business outcomes
The metric that matters: revenue capacity per employee.
The goal is not to replace people. The goal is to make the team more capable. The company should support more work, more customers, and more complexity without adding headcount at the same rate.
Target: a 20 to 40 percent improvement in revenue capacity per employee over 18 to 24 months, when leadership commits to the operating changes that make it possible. We measure value through operating leverage, not feature count.
Fit criteria
This only works if leadership is serious.
If the company wants a small AI widget, we are probably not the right fit.
If the company wants to build the operating layer for the next decade, and is willing to give the mandate, access, and executive attention required, that is exactly where we work.
