Merger &
Post-merger integration consulting

The true success of a merger is not demonstrated when the contract is signed, but in the integration of processes, systems, people and cultures from day 1.

What we do

We support companies during the most critical phase of an integration. During the transition from two organizations into a new whole.

Our experts support the seamless integration of IT systems, processes and cultures - pragmatically, systematically and with empathy for everyone involved.
We take responsibility for strategy, structure and implementation.

Our services at a glance:

  • IT integration planning and system consolidation (e.g. ERP, CRM, infrastructures)
  • Harmonization of business processes and role models
  • Sparring partner for audits in the implementation of IT/tech due diligence
  • Development of integration roadmaps, quick-win plans and stakeholder communication
  • Management of complex integration programs across several departments
  • Change management, executive coaching and cultural integration
  • Support for carve-outs, rebrandings and shared service structures

Where that makes the difference

Every merger is different - that's why we don't work according to a rigid pattern, but adapt our process model individually to the requirements:

  • Which area needs to be harmonized first?
  • How much change can the team tolerate and at what pace?
  • How do we keep running systems stable - despite restructuring?

In our role, we provide structure, create clarity and manage the removal of blockages.

From the field

A medium-sized manufacturer took over a competitor with 600 employees. Different IT systems, duplicate purchasing, parallel processes - and many unanswered questions regarding management and culture.

DI Experts took on the integration management: setting up a PMO, IT and process roadmap, workshop formats for managers and a change campaign for cultural connection.

Within 9 months, purchasing, systems and processes were harmonized - with measurable synergies and significantly more stability in the team.
