Supporting technical capability

Check both IT environments before a merger or acquisition.

Review accounts, security controls, data and ownership across both organizations. You receive the findings, open questions and priorities needed to decide whether integration should proceed or wait.

Engagement context

Where this capability applies.

  • A merger, acquisition, divestiture, or tenant consolidation has a deadline.
  • You are about to connect two environments before anyone has reviewed the risk.
  • Leadership needs a go or no-go they can defend, not a gut call.

The agreed outputs

What the engagement provides.

M&A Technology Readiness Pack

A red, amber, green scorecard across identity, security, data, cloud governance, and licensing.

Integration plan

The sequence and dependencies to consolidate safely, before any link is established.

Risk register

The blockers that must be cleared first, each with an owner and a recommendation.
