Acquisition Diligence and Integration Planning

When making a financial or strategic acquisition, IT diligence is often an afterthought. Forgoing an in-depth analysis can lead to difficult and costly post-acquisition integration, bloated IT budgets, and business-impacting outages.

• Operational Risks: AEG will help find design and configuration risks that could lead to prolonged outages, inability to recover from Cyber breaches, or leaks of company data.
• Valuation Drivers: Don’t close an acquisition, only to find out you have to invest millions to modernize an outdated and failing IT environment; we’ll assess the technology and the skills of IT staff.
• Integration Advisory: Fact – most career IT people have never done integrations. It’s a complex, but single-use skill. AEG excels at strategy and execution of IT integrations between firms.
• Governance Validation: From outdated Disaster Recovery runbooks to incorrectly implemented segregation of duties, we help you find gaps in process and reduce risk.
• Standards: AEG will help process responsibilities and operational standards. We can identify opportunities to simplify, reduce CapEx, and headcount.
