Integrating acquisitions faster with a unified data platform
Manufacturing
Acquisition/bolt-on integration
A North American specialty manufacturing and distribution business needed to understand integration feasibility before completing a bolt-on acquisition.
What was at stake?
The business had already invested in a centralised reporting and analytics environment. Future growth depended on integrating newly acquired businesses quickly without disrupting operations or undertaking costly ERP consolidation projects.
What we uncovered
The proposed acquisition operated on a different technology stack, introducing potential complexity around reporting, master data and operational visibility.
However, because a strong data foundation was already in place, integration could focus on data mapping and model extension rather than rebuilding reporting infrastructure.
What changed?
DataDiligence conducted data integration due diligence, assessed compatibility between environments and developed an integration blueprint before the transaction completed.
Following acquisition, the target's data was incorporated into the existing Business Data Twin and reporting environment.
Why it mattered
The acquisition was integrated faster, reporting continuity was maintained and management gained visibility across the enlarged business with significantly less operational disruption.
