Combined Entity to Operate as Panorama Consulting Group
Denver, Colorado, June 4, 2019 – Leading independent business transformation and ERP systems consultancy Panorama Consulting Solutions has merged with VEER Group, a crisis management and corporate restructuring consultancy that specializes in working with venture-funded companies around the world. The combined company will operate as Panorama Consulting Group, broadening Panorama’s well-respected management consulting and M&A integration practice to include corporate turnaround services, financial and operational restructuring, and interim management.
Daniel Frydenlund, Founder and CEO of VEER Group stated, “The merger of these two intelligible and strong teams will lead the firm towards expansion that I have long wanted for VEER Group. I formed VEER Group with one, single goal: To help equity and debt investors in a niche market. As we work through turnaround and M&A strategies with debt and equity investors in distressed companies, the topics of disparate data and software systems, the need for selecting and implementing the right ERP software, organizational change management and business process management always surface as key focal points. Panorama brings unbiased, world-class expertise in all of these areas, and we are excited to partner with the Panorama team to leverage their expertise.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to add VEER Group’s services to our own client service offerings,” said Vanessa Davison, Managing Director of Revenue and Operations at Panorama Consulting Group. “Dan’s many years of experience in the private equity world are invaluable. The combination of our two firms enables our team to maximize the value we are able to add to our M&A integration and management consulting engagements. Our shared values of family-oriented culture and passion for providing organizations around the world with transformative results creates a solid and effective partnership.”
Calvin Hamler, Managing Director of Finance and Marketing at Panorama Consulting Group added, “Few things are more satisfying than helping a struggling company navigate financial and operational crises to get back on a trajectory of growth and prosperity, while maximizing returns for the debt and equity investors involved. Dan has built an amazing company, succeeding in a niche market for many years, doing just that. Our combined team will enter more vertical markets and continue to broaden our scope both domestically and internationally, which is something we’re all excited about!”

The Technology Headlines selected Panorama as one of the ten fastest growing digital technology solution providers for 2019.
Organizations today have more digital technology choices than ever before. Many organizations seek guidance from experts, like Panorama, that have experience across a wide variety of ERP systems.
Instead of providing technology directly to organizations, Panorama provides strategies for selecting and implementing technology. Their ERP consultants guide organizations in aligning technology with people and processes.
“Panorama is growing its customer base by focusing on the market’s evolving needs,” said Vanessa Davison, Managing Partner of Panorama. “Organizations are feeling the pressure to grow through strategic M&As and keep up with technology advancements.”
Since organizations are focusing on the customer experience, value steam optimization and worker enablement, so is Panorama. While the firm still focuses on ERP, its approach has become more top-down in nature, focusing on strategy alignment before technology selection.
“We realized the need to expand our service offerings to integrate people, processes and technology,” said Davison. “We saw that the most successful ERP initiatives were aligned with organization’s business strategies.”
