Integration of Companies after M&A Processes
Integration of Companies After M&A Processes: This is a stage in the process that occurs after the signing of the purchase and sale contract, focusing on integrating the acquired company with the synergies of the acquiring company
The integration of companies after an M&A transaction requires the engagement of multiple workstreams. According to TCP Partners' expertise, the TCP team organizes these workstreams under the responsibility of the CRO (Chief Restructuring Officer), with short- and long-term targets.
Why integrate with a method
Buying or merging with another company is only the beginning: the value of the deal depends on how the two organizations start working as one. Without a plan, communication fails, systems are duplicated and the synergies assumed in the valuation do not materialize.
Short to medium term (about 3 months)
Management workstreams: communications, finance and controllership.
Long term (9 to 12 months)
- Synergies: systems, infrastructure, contracts, labor matters, policies, products and valuation.
- Enabled workstreams: operations, commercial, legal, marketing, procurement, human resources and new products.
- Systems integration: ERP integration, efficiency assessment of other systems and information technology.
