Navigate Complex Technology Transitions with Confidence
Every merger, acquisition, or divestiture involves complex technology considerations. Systems need to be integrated or separated. Data must be migrated or segregated. Applications, licenses, and infrastructure require careful planning and execution. Staff need clarity on new systems and processes.
Technology issues have derailed countless transactions, caused delays, created unexpected costs, and diminished the value of otherwise sound business deals. You need expertise that understands both the technical complexities and the business imperatives driving your transaction.

Experience That Matters
M&A technology support isn’t the place for learning on the job. Our team brings proven experience across numerous transactions, including integrations, carve-outs, and divestitures across various industries and company sizes. We’ve seen the challenges that derail transactions and know how to avoid them.
This experience translates into realistic planning, accurate effort estimation, and proactive risk management. You’ll benefit from lessons learned across many transactions without having to learn them yourself the hard way.
Our Approach to M&A Support
Transaction timelines are demanding. Our approach emphasizes speed without compromising quality. We mobilize quickly, work efficiently, and deliver results that keep your transaction on track.
We also understand that every transaction is unique. Cookie-cutter approaches fail to address your specific circumstances. We tailor our methods to your transaction type, timeline, complexity, and risk tolerance, ensuring our support aligns with your broader business objectives.
Technology Due Diligence
Before completing an acquisition, you need clear visibility into the target company's technology landscape. We conduct comprehensive technical due diligence that assesses infrastructure, applications, security posture, technical debt, licensing compliance, and technology-related risks. You'll understand exactly what you're acquiring, identify potential issues before they become problems, and negotiate from an informed position.
Our due diligence reports provide actionable insights, not just technical inventories. We highlight integration challenges, quantify remediation costs, identify opportunities for synergies, and flag compliance or security concerns that could impact transaction value or post-merger operations.
Integration Planning and Execution
Successful integrations require meticulous planning and disciplined execution. We develop detailed integration roadmaps that address systems consolidation, data migration, network integration, application rationalization, and user transition. Our plans balance speed with risk management, ensuring you realize synergies quickly while maintaining operational stability.
During execution, we manage the technical workstreams, coordinate with your internal teams and vendors, and monitor progress against milestones. You'll have a single point of accountability for technology integration, reducing coordination overhead and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Carve-Out and Divestiture Support
Separating a business unit or subsidiary presents unique challenges. Shared systems must be disentangled. Data needs to be segmented. New infrastructure may need to be established. Transition service agreements require careful management.
We help you plan and execute carve-outs that minimize disruption to both the divested entity and the remaining organization. Whether you're the seller ensuring a clean separation or the buyer establishing independent operations, our expertise ensures technology transitions support your transaction timeline and business objectives.
Data Migration and Management
Data is often the most complex and risky aspect of technology transitions. We design and execute data migration strategies that ensure information moves accurately, completely, and securely between systems.
Our approach includes thorough data profiling, cleansing, validation, and reconciliation to prevent data quality issues from undermining your new environment.
For complex transactions involving multiple systems and large data volumes, we employ proven migration methodologies, automated tools, and rigorous testing protocols that minimize risk and downtime.
System Consolidation and Rationalization
Post-merger, organizations often operate redundant systems that increase costs and complexity. We analyze your combined application portfolio, identify consolidation opportunities, and execute rationalization initiatives that reduce licensing costs, simplify your technology landscape, and eliminate unnecessary duplication.
Our approach prioritizes quick wins that deliver immediate value while developing longer-term roadmaps for complex system consolidations that require more substantial effort.
Transition Service Agreements
TSAs provide critical support during the transition period but must be managed carefully to avoid extended dependence or unexpected costs. We help you negotiate fair TSA terms, establish clear exit criteria, and manage the transition to independent operations. You'll have transparency into TSA costs and dependencies, with clear plans for achieving independence on schedule.
Post-Merger Integration Office (IMO) Support
Large transactions often establish integration management offices to coordinate workstreams and ensure successful outcomes. We provide experienced personnel to support or lead technology workstreams within your IMO, bringing specialized M&A integration expertise that complements your internal resources.
