In M&A engagements, the systems and infrastructure behind the business can accelerate success or quietly drain value. IT infrastructure is a critical pillar of merger, acquisition, and divestiture blueprinting, requiring diligent planning and careful execution. Protera offers deep expertise in guiding PE and M&A advisory firms through the intricacies of IT integration and realignment.
IT infrastructure, environment, and end user services discovery and analysis to validate the landscape and uncover and address potential risks before they become issues.
Tailor-made plan that addresses your specific IT ecosystem, timeline, and budget constraints to ensure smooth technology integration and successful transition.
As we work to manage against the Transition Services Agreement (TSA), Protera looks for impactful ways to incorporate leading edge technology in the target ecosystem to extract greater value from the M&A transaction.
Protera has a proven track record of successfully supporting separation of IT assets due to a merger, divestiture or acquisition. We developed our M&A Discovery & Planning methodology based on a 25+ years of experience supporting the IT components of successful M&A transactions.
We have teams that are experts in infrastructure, applications, network, end user services, and similar IT towers and leverage this knowledge to provide a solid plan for transition as well as ongoing cloud services post-transition.
We focus on identifying redundancies and eliminating outdated or unneeded assets to create a more efficient, cost-effective, and secure IT operating environment.
Our solutioning includes an achievable plan to consolidate assets onto a single platform using our AI-powered, people-validated migration strategy for Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
We perform an IT Landscape Assessment, including asset discovery and mapping as well as a security assessment all servers in environment and endpoints across enterprise.

We inherited a highly customized, 20+ year old version of SAP and were struggling to introduce new capabilities to the business. We saw S/4HANA as an opportunity to transform the business, to go back to standard best practices. - CIO, Ingevity

Mergers and Acquisitions bring significant challenges, notably in realizing synergies and consolidating IT infrastructures. Achieving these goals is critical but complex, involving the integration of varied systems and ensuring security during the merger of assets and user bases. Overcoming these hurdles is essential for leveraging M&A benefits, demanding strategic planning and expertise to manage transitions effectively and securely.
Divestitures necessitate strategic planning and precise execution within a fixed TSA budget. Our objective is to establish a predictable, cost-effective, and stable IT framework, focused on timely delivery to minimize business disruption. Our plan balances financial constraints with operational needs, ensuring a smooth transition that positions both the divested entity and the parent company for success.
