Start on landscape and design
For any merger and acquisitions, you would have to start with a map of the current landscape. As you are trying to enable new processes and maximize synergies, map out the current processes? You may want to start thinking which systems in place, what processes they support and why? Then examine what should be kept, enriched or replaced, and evaluate how they affect the client’s post-merger business functions. The goal is to capture the combined business capabilities then further prioritize them for the upcoming IT integration plan.
Infrastructure Shift IT integration managers will leverage Infrastructure optimization best practices such as simplification, standardization, virtualization and consolidation to reduce integration complexity, redundancy and deployment time.

Data protection has become a feature of M&A due diligence since introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, and certain aspects of data management will be under the compliance.
