Mergers & Acquisitions
Merging the IT systems, business processes, and resources of multiple organizations is never easy. Without a thorough and realistic plan and capable execution team, success is impossible. Blue Skies’ practical approach to planning for the all-important data and business application merger can help alleviate some of the common IT-related mistakes made in merger and acquisitions activities by
- Incorporating a technology audit to uncover and value all risk areas with emphasis on application and hardware health and licensing
- Establishing a complete road map to fully integrate technology & processes
- Highlighting budgeting and acquisition cost considerations for complete integration
To provide you with the information and planning you need to be successful, Blue Skies offers the following services:
Pre M & A Services (Technical Due Diligence)
Our strategic technical assessments concentrate on the various applications and physical systems of the company to be acquired so you’re better prepared to make your investment decision. Deliverables include an inventory of technical assets, a road map for integration efforts and high level budget considerations to be evaluated.
Post M & A Services
Once the acquisition is finalized, we focus on the applications, infrastructure and business processes with a goal of leveraging economies of scale. We’ll consolidate and blend technical assets, map existing processes of the newly acquired company and recommend areas to improve operational efficiencies across both companies to create additional value. We also help standardize data across the companies for financial reporting that makes sense.
