      How we can help

      Technology Merger Integration

      Technology integration is a critical element of any merger or acquisition—and one of the most daunting. We help you avoid risks and transform this challenge into a significant source of deal value and competitive advantage.

      Technology Merger Integration

      • Our Team
      • Related Offerings

      Technology issues can make or break deal value. As deals become more complex technology integration becomes critically important, yet it's often an aspect of integration that is under-resourced--and in which costs can quickly spiral out of control. 

      Our extensive experience in IT consulting and technology integrations has highlighted a few "golden rules":

      • 70% of technology integrations fail in the beginning, not the end
      • There is a lot of money at stake: More than 50% of business synergies are technology-enabled
      • A clear cost-management process is required to avoid cost proliferation throughout the integration

      We bring a strategic lens to post-merger technology integration. Acting as your general contractor, we work closely with your team to tackle the most critical  technology priorities while keeping the most important strategic questions front-and-center.
