Integration is not a downstream step

During the transaction, the focus is often on financial and legal aspects. But what happens afterwards? Without IT integration, coordinated processes and a common vision, even the cleanest takeover will fail.

‍

Preparation is everything - even before the deal

Structured integration begins long before the closing:

• Define the target image of the new organization
• Align integration strategy with deal logic
• Early involvement of IT, management and operational units

These measures create clarity and enable smooth implementation after the closing.

‍

Ensure Day 1 readiness

The first day after closing is crucial. Customers, employees and managers expect orientation and stability. This is where it is decided whether trust is maintained - or whether the first cracks appear.

‍

Success factors from practice

Post-merger integrations succeed when everyone involved sits at the same table: Deal team, IT, HR, operations. Joint roadmaps, clearly defined roles and communication structures are essential.
