Mergers & Acquisitions

Acquisitions are stressful, time consuming and all-encompassing projects. And in the modern digital age, technology is a critical part of all businesses, yet it can easily be overlooked whilst the focus is (quite rightly) on the financials and legals.

However, it’s critical at an early stage to complete the necessary due diligence of all aspects of the target’s technology stack and processes, security, and license audits. And on completion, it’s arguably even more important that the final merge of data, platforms, and users is completed successfully and with as negligible impact to the business as possible. For this, you need expert guidance at each stage.

Understanding the nuances of M&A is a key differentiator between IT Managed Service Providers and those who have little to no experience can be a major risk. Whilst FDD and LDD are well known paths, TDD is an artform and not to be taken lightly.

Our dedicated project management team and experienced consultants have managed substantial numbers of acquisitions over the past ten years, all delivered on time, to specification and with extensive guidance and pragmatism you’d expect from a class leading MSP like Orca.

M&A activity is high-risk, high-reward – but you can reduce those risks by ensuring you use a partner who understands the unique challenges that M&A brings.

The benefits of using Orca as your Managed Service Partner for merger and acquisition projects offers several benefits:

1. Expert Due Diligence: Thorough analysis of technology, security, and licenses to prevent costly oversights.
2. Smooth Integration: Efficient merging of data, platforms, and users, minimising disruptions, with pragmatic commercial recommendations throughout the process.
3. Risk Reduction: Expert guidance reduces the risks associated with complex M&A processes.
4. Time and Cost: Ensures projects are delivered on time and within budget.
5. Tailored Solutions: Provides customised strategies to address the unique challenges of each acquisition.
6. Experienced Project Management: Dedicated teams with vast experience of successful M&A projects.
