What Aeolus does

Transaction Readiness

We audit your technology environment before due diligence begins — identifying what will surface under acquirer scrutiny, fixing what can reduce valuation, and documenting what deal teams need. Eleven completed M&A transactions, on the technology side.

Fractional CIO

Van Murray serves as your company's technology leader on a monthly retainer — attending leadership meetings, managing vendor relationships, and connecting every IT decision to where your business is going. One relationship. No ticket numbers. No long-term contract.

IT Strategy & Roadmap

We build the technology roadmap your company has been missing: prioritized by business impact, tied to your growth trajectory, and grounded in what you can actually execute. Strategy before the stack — so your IT investments make sense before a vendor sells you one.
