Leading the Next Era of Software
AI represents a generational shift in how software is built, sold, and scaled. We partner with software companies to apply modern technology as a deliberate part of how we invest in and operate businesses over the long term. Across our portfolio, AI is already being used to improve how products are built and operated, while also enabling new capabilities that drive organic growth and deliver value for customers.
Where AI drives impact
Across our businesses, AI is applied in a number of repeatable ways that consistently create leverage.

Examples from across the portfolio
AI-Enabled Product Expansion
After piloting an AI-powered module with a small group of customers, the company launched the capability commercially, helping users review complex information more efficiently and make more informed decisions. The AI functionality was quickly adopted and is now a core part of the product roadmap, supporting both operational efficiency and new revenue growth.
Modernizing RedAlert at Alpine Software
The Alpine Rewrite Project is helping transform RedAlert into a scalable, future-ready platform while capturing new development capabilities that can support broader product modernization efforts across our portfolio.
AI-Assisted Product Modernization
The upgrade was initially estimated to require roughly 800 days of engineering work. By applying AI-assisted development tools and targeted support, the team reduced the effort by approximately half, saving hundreds of engineering days. Beyond the immediate time savings, the team gained confidence in tackling future upgrades and modernization initiatives more efficiently.
