IT Support for Mergers & Acquisitions
IT Support for Mergers & Acquisitions
Merger and Acquisitions are increasingly part of the business landscape as companies are continually adjusting to recession challenges, employee redundancy issues, and succession strategies moving into effect.
Issues discovered trying to merge IT and operations
Mergers processes often fall short when trying to save on IT integration because of a few main reasons:
- IT is not usually included in the conversations early enough to weigh in
- The seller does not paint a clear enough picture during the sale of systems that are falling apart, unkept, or present risk
- The acquiring company does not know how to evaluate the seller’s “technical” debt, systems they let eclipse sustainability or usefulness. The acquiring company has a difficult time quantifying the cost to update or replace the systems.
- Acquiring company does not realize the increase in IT costs they will face hiring more personnel to manage the new systems, and at this point cutting corners on merging IT did not pay off.
By working with an IT company familiar with the challenges faced during a merger and acquisition, your organization will be better poised to face the challenges ahead.
Benefits
A good planning process gives the acquiring company a fair chance to thoroughly evaluate the asset and assure the areas of potential risk are recognized and valued. There are benefits to the seller and buyer:
- Buyer can get a fair evaluation of the true costs of the IT organization, tools, resources, applications
- Buyer can plan to absorb IT support based on ability to be able to do so, or buyer can prepare additional support contracts for augmented needed additional support post mergers or acquisition
- Seller can benefit by creating stability for employees and systems working under the new umbrella
- Seller appears to be more organized during the process by having their house in order
Strengthen your IT support and planning years before a merger and acquisition
By laying in the groundwork years ahead of time, you can identify and work on the IT weaknesses, eliminate any possible risks before the sale of the company takes place or during the merger and acquisition phase, and lastly, address what needs to be fixed to help strengthen your position to the acquiring company.
