If you’ve ever been a part of an M&A integrations project, you know some financial jujitsu is about to go down. At its core, it’s a consolidation exercise – but it’s not just two of everything. There are extreme nuances and legacy aspects to consider when making future state decisions. Right-fitting the new organization with the right mix of software and tools is a daunting task. Closing the deal (divestiture or acquisition) is hard enough at the corporate level – and although the technology integration is typically a laggard, it is critical to moving forward.
“I’m really excited to see the ability to drive insight and increase performance in the M&A integration space through technology enablement… Previously there’ve been drawbacks specific to M&A integration around 1) the tight timelines to execute a deal, 2) the ability to get the tools and solutions up and running in that tight timeline and 3) the availability of data… We’ve seen significant improvements on all of those fronts.”
– Alex Torgerson, Director, Global M&A, Slalom
No team understands this pain better than Slalom’s M&A Division. Headquartered in Seattle, their M&A team has supported acquisitions across industries and with a wide variety of global brands. Ardoq has become a critical part of their toolkit when it comes to successful M&A roadmapping for their clients.
Our very own Patrick Girasole had the pleasure of co-presenting our joint approach with Miranda Mason, Managing Director at Slalom, during Slalom’s recent M&A Roundtable – and elaborate on how Slalom is using Ardoq to accelerate their M&A integration.
