Mergers & Acquisitions
Refractis provides comprehensive IT advisory and delivery capabilities for M&A integration, carve-outs, and technology transformation.
Overview
Mergers & Acquisitions at Refractis
Every deal depends on the technology underneath it. Systems have to be joined up or pulled apart, services kept running and data kept safe, usually against a fixed date. If it slips, the business feels it from day one.
What is at stake
- An estate that is never properly brought together leaves fragmented systems, and a fragmented business, undermining the case for the deal.
- A separation that is not done thoroughly risks unauthorised access to sensitive data, regulatory breaches and reputational damage, for both sides.
- Deals often set off a wider transformation, which brings disruption and security risk of its own if it is not managed carefully.
How we work
Realising what the deal promised is the real measure of success. We cover the whole deal: due diligence, day-one readiness, integration or separation, exit from transitional service agreements (TSAs) and the synergies the deal was meant to deliver. We understand the technology, the operating models, the commercial structures and IT service management, so the plan still holds once the deal team has moved on.
For a global insurance broker growing by acquisition, we turned a good integration process into repeatable patterns and ran ten integration streams in parallel. Read the case study
