Let’s chat.
We’d love to learn more about you and your business.
Welcome home.
Learn more about how we think and operate differently from other potential investment partners.
In a nutshell: We believe there can be many winners in the ERP market, and our strategy is rooted in the idea that every ERP is unique and designed for a highly distinct set of customers. So, we buy winners. We also respect the ERP’s position as the system of record, and the customer’s preference to keep it that way. Thus, we have an investment strategy of longevity to match.

A Founder’s Story
In 1981, a fourth-grade Dave Ferguson started writing software to help automate his dad’s shop floor—laying the foundation for what would become MIE Solutions.
Dave started his business to spend more time with his dad; make a positive impact on the lives of his employees and customers; and to see his products flourish. 40 years later, when Dave begin considering stepping back from his business, he knew what kind of partner he was looking for …
What He Wanted in a Partner:
No chance of us ending up in the ERP Graveyard (where products are swallowed up into a larger company in order to ransack their customers).
No private equity partner, who would take control of the product and then sell it again in a few years to turn a profit.
A partner that would enable MIE Solutions employees to flourish and their talents to be used to the best of their abilities.
A long-term partner that would keep the legacy of MIE Solutions, its products, its people, and its vision alive for the next 30 years.
Why Mirador Stood Out:
Mirador wasn’t like the other guys. Dave saw something in our emails that he didn’t see in any one else’s communications. Mirador:
Knew and deeply understood ERP
Wanted to continue his legacy
They loved the ERP business
Was family-owned, by a father and a son
Great companies live here.
