Post Merger IT Integration

“Ready – Steady – Go!”

A merger is always associated with many challenges relating to policies, HR, culture, and logistics.  They can only be managed, if the companies involved can be integrated at an IT level.  A successful IT integration is the prerequisite for future business success.

CSC has more than ten years of experience in post merger IT integration and proven, defined processes.  We have the technical infrastructure and experienced service partners.  You benefit from a reasonable timeframe, predictable costs and the certainty that the standardised IT infrastructure will optimally map and support the business processes of the enterprise as a whole.

To ensure a successful realisation, we follow the below principles:

• Focus on a Target System
  We complement the existing IT system of a company such that it meets the requirements of the other companies and analyse the other systems in respect to functions and data sets to be integrated into the target system.
  
  
• Define Hardware Requirements
  We use a structured process to define hardware requirements and modify the target system so that full functionality is given.
  
  
• Collect Information in a Structured Manner
  To put as little strain on the client’s HR resources as possible while at the same time collecting all relevant data, we use our dedicated moderation technique, involving the IT and user departments of all companies concerned.
  
  
• Mitigate Capacity Bottlenecks
  The preparation and implementation process requires more IT capacities than what the system needs after successful integration. From our outsourcing portfolio we offer you appropriate solutions which flexibly and seamlessly integrate.
  
  
• Use Offshore Resources for Smooth Handling
  We will provide an efficient on-site team of CSC experts who have already implemented several successful post merger projects and are trained in our consistent methodology.
  
  
• Create Transparency for all Parties
  A central repository ensures optimum planning and implementation transparency. In this repository, all parties involved have access to the relevant structure information and can review the migration status at all times.
  
  
• Security and Risk Minimisation
  To ensure that all business units remain operable during the overall migration, we have developed a field-proven toolkit for secure and successful project implementation and transfer the data to a third, secure system for temporary storage.
