Technology due diligence and post-merger integration for transactions where systems, data and people must come together on a deadline.
Why technology decides the outcome
The modern merger and acquisition process depends on a comprehensive understanding of the technology architecture of both entities. Any delay in critical processes such as data migration or systems integration can be crippling, and costs balloon quickly once the deal has closed and the organisation is waiting.
What we handle
Our team has overseen multi-million-dollar mergers and acquisitions and managed the development and implementation of the systems that followed. We take responsibility for the technology workstream end to end, including:
- Technology due diligence before signing
- Merger and acquisition planning
- Comprehensive systems audits of both estates
- Asset mapping and infrastructure review
- Staffing assessment and training
- Customisation of physical and software solutions
- Systems overhaul, update and integration
- Data migration and security
- Development of new operational processes
Our objective is that both entities are fully equipped for the process, and that it is executed as quickly and as seamlessly as the deal timetable requires.
What you can expect
- A due-diligence report in plain language for the deal team and the board
