M&A Seperation and Integration

M&A Post-Deal-Close Migration

Many mergers don’t live up to expectations, due to the inherent complexity in the integration of technology and operations. But a well-planned strategy, paired with our in-house developed M&A Integration Framework (MAIF) for IT integration can help mergers succeed.

According to a study by McKinsey, “more than half the synergies available in a merger are strongly relate to IT”!

Our Expertise

We provide the unique expertise required to assist with the inherent complexity of Post-M&A Integration from People, Process and Technology perspectives.

As a result of many years of experience assisting large M&A programs in Australia, we’ve built a robust and comprehensive framework for post-deal-close integration. We call it MAIF – M&A Integration Framework.

 

 

The scope of our work is integration and migration of IT assets, people and processes, either on the BUY or SELL side of the deal.

MAIF is an E2E framework from the inception to delivery and handover. It assists you to setup the program of work, build the architecture using M&A Reference Architecture, setup delivery pipelines and ensure the quality of artefacts, and all the while keeps you focused on forming your Target Business Model (TOM) and realising synergies.
