Structural ChangeDriven by market conditions, more and more companies are looking into structural change as a way to drive value, and with technology being much more pervasive, IT can’t be overemphasized as one of the most important success factors for an integration. As such, a well planned, well executed approach to integration of the two IT landscapes is a key prerequisite for a seamless customer experience and to realize internal cost advantages (e.g., Product Development, Procurement, or Production synergies can mainly be captured if their corresponding systems are consolidated and/or integrated).
With substantial experience in transactions of all sizes, Booz & Company provides comprehensive structural change IT services along the complete Mergers and Restructuring lifecycle — from due diligence to merger planning & design through post-merger integration (PMI) — enabling key synergies, and thus fully capturing the value of the deal.
These services are built not only upon the firm’s knowledge base and hands-on efforts in hundreds of transactions, but also on the combined skills and thought leadership of Booz & Company’s staff located on six continents. In the structural change space, the firm’s service offerings fall into three broad categories:
Structural Change Service Areas
IT Due Diligence: Develop the strategic rationale for a deal, with a focus on IT and capabilities (technology, organization & processes), as well as candidate screening, negotiation, clean-room operation, and other support.
IT Transaction Planning and Integration: Prepare for the transaction through benchmarking and integration design & planning: target systems & organizational design including sizing and roadmap/migration path development.
Synergy Capture: Capture post-deal value, providing support to manage the post-merger integration program, which besides standard PMO capabilities, also requires deep facilitation and change management capabilities in order to make the integration program succeed.

- Rapid IT assessments / due diligences (what are the key assets, where are the key watch-outs)
- Solid target IT design & migration plans based on realistic business cases for organization, technology and processes, having broad and deep experience from various other end-to-end integration programs, and great expertise in all major IT domains
