Our consultants at Blue River International are skilled in assisting companies - both in pre-M&A technology due diligence and post merger integration work. Blue River International consultants provide pre-merger analysis that starts with understanding the objectives of the merger. Understanding merger motivation is pivotal to a successful due- diligence report that provides targeted analysis based on merger objectives. This is because every merger is unique. For example, some companies merge due to product synergies and some by way of eliminating competition. Merger motivation helps our analysts determine where to probe deeper and hence identify issues which may need to be dealt with post merger. Pre-merger IT due diligence’s aim is to provide an exhaustive and accurate picture to our clients to assist with merger decision. Our due diligence engagement covers:
Just as pre-merger due diligence is important for merger decisions, post merger technology integration is equally important to ensure a smooth transition that minimizes transition-related disruptions. Our consultants can step into many roles ranging from advisory positions, to providing guidance, to hands on integration. Once again, merger motivation, and intended final outcomes are the primary strategic drivers adopted by Blue River International consultants for post merger integration. Post merger integration’s aim is to provide a smooth transition for both the company and employees and to leverage technologies. Post merger integration work includes:
We offer requisite number of hours each week as advisors to the integration teams. Our consultants can also be directly engaged at any/multi-level positions from CIO through PMO office and project managers. Upon completion of the merger, should our clients request staff augmentation, Blue River International’s staffing and recruitment unit provides skilled resources based on merger based unique needs. An example would be providing project managers skilled in leading application integration projects. |
