M&A & Private Equity

Supporting Private Equity firms and CIOs throughout critical IT execution phases associated with post-merger integration initiatives.

Post-Merger IT Integration

We support Private Equity firms and corporate acquirers with IT Post-Merger Integration (PMI) to ensure operational continuity, value realization, and a structured integration of systems, data, and technology capabilities following a transaction.

Our approach focuses on aligning IT integration activities with the overall transaction strategy, business priorities, and Day-1 requirements — while managing risk, complexity, and dependencies across multiple workstreams.

The outcome is a controlled, execution-focused integration that enables the business to operate seamlessly post-close and provides a clear roadmap for medium- and long-term value creation.

Key Deliverables
1. IT Integration Strategy & Target Architecture

Definition of the integration approach (retain, replace, consolidate), aligned with business objectives and value creation plans.

2. Day-1 Readiness Planning

Ensuring business-critical IT services, access, and systems are operational from Day 1, while full integration and optimization are completed post-close.

3. Integration Roadmap & Milestones

Structured, phased roadmap covering systems, data, infrastructure, security, and vendors.

4. Application & Data Integration Management

Coordination of system integrations, data migrations, and dependency resolution.

5. Infrastructure & Security Integration

Alignment of networks, identity and access management, cybersecurity controls, and compliance requirements.

6. Vendor & Contract Alignment

Review and coordination of IT vendors, licenses, and service agreements post-merger.

7. Governance, Reporting & Risk Management

PMO-driven governance, risk tracking, and executive reporting throughout the integration.

By providing clear governance, realistic timelines, and strong execution control, we enable Operating Partners to focus on value creation, performance improvement, and postclose priorities rather than integration firefighting.
