Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and Acquisitions bring significant challenges, notably in realizing synergies and consolidating IT infrastructures. Achieving these goals is critical but complex, involving the integration of varied systems and ensuring security during the merger of assets and user bases. Overcoming these hurdles is essential for leveraging M&A benefits, demanding strategic planning and expertise to manage transitions effectively and securely.

Hear from the Tidewater CIO on how they surpassed synergy targets by $20M, setting the stage for continuous cloud and innovation adoption.

Divestitures and Carve-outs

Divestitures necessitate strategic planning and precise execution, particularly in onboarding new IT staff within a fixed TSA budget. Our objective is to establish a predictable, cost-effective, and stable IT framework, focused on timely delivery to minimize business disruption. This requires a coherent plan that balances financial constraints with operational needs, ensuring a smooth transition that positions both the divested entity and the parent company for success.
