Why IT matters in M&A
Technology is often the hidden variable in M&A success. Poorly managed integrations, overlooked risks, or underestimated costs can destroy deal value. Structured M&A IT advisory makes risks visible, quantifies synergies with realism, and ensures integration or carve-out plans are executable from Day-1 onward.
Our approach to IT in transactions

M&A advisory focuses on mapping IT estates, contracts, and dependencies during diligence, then using this information to shape deal terms, synergies, and integration sequencing. Target architectures are designed to fit the combined business, and transitional service agreements are managed with discipline to prevent them from becoming cost traps.

Delivering measurable impact

Organisations gain transparency on IT risks, realistic synergy forecasts, and integration roadmaps that align to business value. By using proven playbooks and digital control rooms, leaders ensure programmes feel structured and calm, while still adapting to context and culture. The result is a higher likelihood of delivering on the deal thesis without costly surprises.
