M&A IT Integration Woes? New Package Offers Solution

Mergers and acquisitions within the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector are increasing, but many deals fail to achieve their full potential due to insufficient post-merger integration, particularly concerning IT systems. BTN Consulting, through its "情シス365" service, has launched an "IT PMI Package" to address this critical gap. This comprehensive service spans four phases, starting with an immediate "Day 1" assessment of the target company's IT assets and security posture, lasting up to two weeks.

Following the initial assessment, the service focuses on stabilization, prioritizing operational continuity and addressing urgent security needs within the first month. The core integration phase, lasting one to six months, involves consolidating essential IT infrastructure such as email, file sharing, authentication, and networks. This is followed by an optimization phase, extending up to twelve months, to refine costs, standardize operations, and establish governance.

The "IT PMI Package" supports a range of IT environments, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and offers IT due diligence services prior to acquisition. BTN Consulting also collaborates with M&A intermediaries and advisors to provide seamless IT integration support. Their approach is tailored for companies with 50 to 500 employees, emphasizing rapid deployment and continuous operational support post-integration.
