Mergers & Acquisitions
You have one shot to get it right
Small and mid-market companies are turning to acquisitions as a strategy for growth. For IT, mergers, acquisitions, and other forms of corporate consolidation or carve outs can pose something of a “forced march”. In this process, IT infrastructure and business technology form the combining infrastructure and the “bridges” between disparate systems. The financial success of the transaction can often lie in the company’s ability to cut costs and maximize value, which IT plays an important role.
Our experience and skills enable us to advise, train, and assist with this critical set of activities. We have helped organizations starting with the Due Diligence process through Integration Planning and finally, Execution and Post-Merger Integration. Our advisory services ensure a successful transaction, bridging the IT skills gap, and transferring the knowledge necessary to execute on your M&A Strategy.
Each merger and acquisition brings with it a unique blend of process and technology differences, cultural diversity, and “sacred cows”. Inclusion of IT in the early stages of M&A activity, while highly desirable, rarely occurs. IT is often strapped with a foggy business strategy, little budget to perform integration, and the expectation of cost savings after the integration is complete.
Our expertise spans the full lifecycle of M&A activities including:
- IT Due Diligence
- Integration Planning and Execution
- Technology and Operations Assessments
- Post-Merger Support and Improvement
