Transact to Transform: helping our clients execute successful, digitally-enabled transactions

Contact our experts

IT is a critical aspect of M&A transactions and key to achieving investor objectives. This is why successful M&A transactions require carefully planned and executed IT activities to ensure business continuity, identify and mitigate risks, achieve synergies and deliver the expected value.聽

Our dedicated Tech M&A specialists have assisted clients in numerous transactions across industries, geographies and throughout the deal lifecycle. We help you align IT and technology activities with your deal objectives.聽

We support you throughout the entire deal cycle:聽

  • pre-deal phases (IT carve-out assessment, product due diligence, IT due diligence, (dis)synergy assessment)聽
  • post-deal phases and deal execution (IT integration & separation management office)聽

We use proprietary methodologies, digital tools and technology designed to accelerate transaction timelines, identify and mitigate risks earlier in the deal process and ultimately increase deal value.聽

Understanding client issues & addressing key pain points

Get ready for the deal


Bringing transparency on technology with due diligences聽

The pre-deal phase is often a complex and time-consuming process fraught with uncertainties. Our experts support this phase by performing IT and software product due diligence, identifying potential synergies and risks and developing mitigation strategies to ensure transparency and enable fact-based decisions.聽

Prepare to
integrate


Keeping the momentum and maximizing synergies聽

Cost synergies can fail to materialize due to poor planning and execution. Because IT enables many of these synergies, we help our clients realize value and achieve their business goals through careful planning, robust blueprints and cost estimates.

Navigate separations


End-to-end carve-out
别虫别肠耻迟颈辞苍听

Separations are fraught with risk (data migration, contracts and TSAs, security risks). We provide support throughout the entire separation lifecycle: from baselining interdependencies, to designing a standalone model, to preparing for Day 1 all the way to executing a full separation.

Tailored solutions for your industry

  • Life Sciences: greenfield/brownfield site acquisitions

    We bring unique enterprise architecture expertise to site acquisitions as well as greenfield or brownfield site transformations. This allows for a seamless integration of new sites into complex ecosystems (i.e. modular architecture with public-facing interfaces, digital twins) enabling efficient interactions with third parties, active product suppliers, packaging and customers.

  • Industrial manufacturing: Transact to Transform, going greenfield in a carve-out context

    For large, global organizations, creating a fit-for-purpose IT landscape within a carve-out scenario can significantly increase value. We guide our clients through this transformational journey, from the transaction to the full realization of the carve-out. Our approach includes implementing a cloud-based information system, leveraging standardized ERP and processes, supported by a modern infrastructure.

Tailored IT deal products to accelerate each deal

Every deal is unique and requires a bespoke approach. After working on hundreds of deals, our team has developed tools and processes that can help you succeed in any type of transaction, focus on key material items and issues, reduce risk and exposure and increase value.

  • Buy-side IT/Tech Due Diligence

    We identify and assess a target company's IT strengths, weaknesses and risks. Our analysis helps you understand potential cost savings, operational improvements, and digital opportunities (such as automation, robotics, AI, and data analytics) that can add value to your deal.

  • Vendor IT/Tech due diligence

    We evaluate a vendor鈥檚 technology landscape, including IT strategy, IT organization and the impact of technology on their business operations. Our evaluation covers operational technology, data, cyber, infrastructure, disaster recovery, IT financials (OpEx and CapEx), and IT processes.

  • Platform / Software due diligence

    We assess a target鈥檚 software and custom code for code quality and the product roadmap鈥檚 ability to meet the business plan or investment thesis. There are typical technology findings such as failure to meet scalability barriers leading to price chips.

  • IT/Tech Vendor Assistance

    We analyze shared technology, data, suppliers, IP, and people between a parent company and its potential target to be divested. We bring transparency to interdependencies and derive separation costs and stand-alone IT separation costs for the divested entity while looking for value creation opportunities.

  • IT separation

    We support our clients throughout the entire separation lifecycle. From preparing your Day 1 strategy, mitigating risks and implementing remedial actions, to closing the deal and achieving full IT separation. Our team identifies opportunities to accelerate execution and reduce costs.

  • IT integration

    Acquiring a new company is an opportunity to transform your business and unlock value by bringing in new talent, technology, and processes. Without proper integration, this potential is lost. We excel at rapid integration, focusing on high-risk areas and identifying value creation opportunities.
