mergers & acquisitions

M&A transactions have a defined transition services agreement that says how long the new company can use the old company's IT systems. Most IT organizations aren't prepared to cutover all IT systems at once to the new entity–in fact, most don't even know where to start.

Synergy Technical has the experience you need

We have successfully worked with private equity firms around the globe to make sure the IT transitions for mergers and acquisitions are smooth, seamless, and exceed expectations. We take an outcome accountable approach to our IT Integration Plan. We're there from inception through execution. We provide support during this process where and when it's needed, based on your requirements and integration budget.

We offer the following services around an M&A IT integration plan...

Pre-migration planning and strategic services

We come in early to understand what the due diligence looks like from an IT perspective and identify the stakeholders, the state of the current environment, potential pitfalls, and the desired end state. We then build a coexistence strategy to act as a roadmap.

Migration services (platform migration, consolidation, and restructuring)

We take ownership of the migration plan and then provide experienced guidance from certified engineers, project managers, communications leads, and trainers to deliver an execution with minimized risk or disruption to end users.

Communication services

We will build a Communication Plan that establishes workflows between both organizations so that productivity and communications are maintained from start to finish.

Licensing services

We both assess the total licensing requirements of the new organization and can provide deep level discounts on the actual licensing purchase.

Resourcing services

We understand that M&A transactions have a defined timeline for all separation activities. Failure to meet these deadlines could mean penalties. We will provide managed project teams with experience in migrations within your business sector.

Project management: During the migration, existing IT teams are most often tasked with managing the post-merger integration in addition to their daily duties. We will augment your staff during this critical transition to give your team and the business the support they require.
Training: Considering the complexity of an IT integration, it's easy to forget about the end users. Ongoing training on new systems is critical for maximizing user adoption and success post-execution.
