The key to successful M&A transactions on the buyer side is integration. A well-structured post-merger integration process ensures that the identified value drivers are leveraged, complexity is reduced, and planned time and synergy effects are realised. Often the large organisational and structural changes that arise from M&A transactions affect multiple areas of both the acquirer and the acquired company.
To address these changes, we have developed a suite of adaptive methods and tools, which we can employ to ensure the success of your integration. Not restrictive to only integration projects, these resources can also be used during transformations.
No matter if they are national or international, integration and transformation projects are usually very complex, affecting all departments as well as significantly impacting a company's IT landscape. In order to profit from the synergy effects immediately after the transaction, it is necessary to make an early analysis of integration potentials and measures. Therefore, prior to the completion of the transaction, our transaction and integration teams work closely together to ensure a smooth transition into the project phases. From these early stages, we develop a clear organisational goal and derive the necessary integration measures for success.
Clear common goals throughout the entire integration process are key success factors. The preparation for securing business continuity, which leads to a successful Day 1, should not be underestimated. A good plan for the first 100 days can help to reduce the risks for all parties involved and quickly increase the potential for success. We would be delighted to support you in this phase. Project management is central to successfully guide the integration and transformation process. If required, we would set up a professional IMO (Integration Management Office) for you at an early stage that would be fully functional from Day 1.
Every integration means a transformation for the organisation and the processes of the companies involved. For this reason, we offer you our interdisciplinary pool of services and years of expertise in the national and international transaction environment to assist you in the post-merger phase.
