One constant in business is change

We offer deep insight into the particular issues for M&A (mergers & acquisitions). Information technology is an often overlooked, yet fundamental, component to any transaction, and can deliver immense benefit to an M&A deal, if considered properly and early.

We can help you with:

  • Pre-deal planning: understanding the commercial goals, and linking IT to strategic drivers.
  • Pre-deal assessment: ensuring that the deal is more likely to deliver the anticipated commercial benefits and a successful outcome.
  • Due diligence: identifying inefficiencies and gaps in a target's IT environment.
  • Transition: A transitional services agreement allows the entities to continue to depend on the other's IT systems for a negotiated period of time.
  • Post-deal operations: assessing whether to build a new IT platform, or to integrate the legacy systems of the target and the purchaser.
