Post merger integration

Successfully manage merger, demerger and integration activities while reducing the risk and cost of divestment.

Unifying IT and other systems and processes following a merger or acquisition can be hugely daunting. At Steria, we have a great deal of hands-on experience in this area, as well as the tools and techniques to successfully support change.

The Steria developed PMI Plateau methodology can reduce the complexities of a merger and make every implementation successful.

Transaction: we fully assess the business case to help reduce your exposure to risk. We take a practised, realistic view on the complexity, cost and workload involved in implementation as well as a 'due diligence'-type approach to strategic and operational opportunities. In this way, you gain hard risk-management data that you can use when negotiating price and transitional agreements.

Planning: we reduce implementation time by making processes transparent and preparing interfaces – (de)merger readiness, pre-merger integration.
Implementation: we help to define implementation goals, launching the process using the PMI Plateau tool and indentifying and quantifying the precise needs of the situation, before planning how to cope with any situation that may arise (post-deal integration).

Integration: the fast and diligent integration of totally different IT landscapes is always key to the success of a merger. We pay special attention to data migration, particularly relating to customers, contracts and transactions and your internal processes are quickly and smoothly aligned to keep the impact on your customers to an absolute minimum. Our 'Migration Factory' professional tool radically improves the speed and quality of both the systems and data migration.
