Expert M&A IT solutions for a smooth transition

IT performs a crucial role in business mergers and acquisitions. You need the right technology to view insights from all relevant data, evaluate business functions and plan the integration of separate entities. Meanwhile, staff will need support for adapting to changing systems and processes. 

With so much occurring, you might feel unsure of where to focus. We provide the expertise you need to tick all the boxes and successfully set up IT for your new entity.

Essential technologies for successful mergers & acquisitions

Seamless integrations

Our dedicated M&A services ensure a smooth integration of IT systems and infrastructure.

Cost savings

We focus on cost optimisation in your IT systems and infrastructure without compromising quality and efficiency. By identifying areas for savings, we prevent budget blowouts and maximise the value of your IT investments.

Risk mitigation

We de-risk M&A from a cyber perspective and also take a holistic approach. We consider shortening ramp-up time and prioritising employee experience and acceptance for a smoother and more successful process.

Improved scalability

We ensure that your IT systems and infrastructure are scalable to meet the demands of the new, larger organisation.

Timeline acceleration

We can accelerate the overall M&A timeline and reduce the time required for IT integration.

IT consistency

We maintain consistency across the newly merged or acquired organisations, reducing conflicts and confusion. 

Supporting your mergers and aquisitions

IT strategy

In a M&A, decisions must align with strategic goals. Whether you have business growth or cost reduction in your strategy, we can help you build an IT solution tailored to your specific needs, allowing you to achieve your strategic objectives promptly and efficiently.

Practical planning

We are also here to plan the technical details. How many email addresses and user accounts do you need? When will everything get done within the necessary timeframes? We manage the details, allowing you to focus on other business functions.

Post-M&A integration

Integration brings data to managers and decision-makers so they can proactively resolve issues and fulfil needs. Integrated systems will save time by automating processes, allowing faster information-sharing and eliminating duplicated work.

Discovery

We work with you to understand which software license agreements will provide the most functionality for the newly combined organisation. We also prepare all users for migration to different email addresses and network accounts.

Migration

When bringing multiple companies together, relevant data and applications must be migrated onto one location. We provide scalability with virtual infrastructure to shift your data to the cloud cost-effectively.

Project management

We keep an eye on progress and successes during the M&A and after successfully deploying solutions. We work with you to track KPIs and ensure your IT solutions support you in meeting business objectives.

IT Strategy & CIO as a Service

Our CIO as a Service (CIOaaS) will take leadership in your organisation to optimise technology in the M&A. The CIOaaS can budget for technology and educate staff on new systems and applications.

Support

Our 100% local team will guide your staff through new user accounts, getting familiar with different applications and ensuring all relevant people can access the network.

Cyber security

Preventing cyber security threats is crucial during M&A. You should include it in your due diligence and educate staff on best practices to prevent data breaches and reduce the impact of a cyber attack.

Frequently Asked Questions

A M&A typically involves initial negotiations between companies, due diligence, valuation, negotiation of the terms, and finally, the closing of the deal. Then the complex integration of the two entities must begin, and this is where RODIN can smoothen the process.

A merger or acquisition can affect employees in various ways, including changes in job responsibilities, systems and applications, and company culture.

Both companies’ IT systems and infrastructure will need to be evaluated to determine the best approach for integration. This may involve consolidating or replacing certain systems, migrating data, and testing them to ensure compatibility and functionality.

Potential risks and challenges include data loss, security breaches, system downtime, and compatibility issues. You can mitigate these risks with thorough planning and testing, cyber security measures, and contingency plans.

The timeline for IT integration will depend on the complexity of the systems and infrastructure being integrated. It is important to plan accordingly and communicate updates and changes to stakeholders throughout the process. An IT specialist like RODIN can accelerate timelines and ensure that integration does not impact your timeline.
