DATA INTEGRATION
Deliver value from acquisitions, not complexity
De-risk and execute data integration across bolt-ons—ensuring synergies are realised, not lost
Many acquisitions fail to deliver expected value due to fragmented systems and incompatible data.
We assess integration feasibility pre-deal and lead execution post-deal—creating a scalable, unified data platform.
What we do
Integration that protects and unlocks value
Bolt-on strategies depend on speed, repeatability, and clarity—but data fragmentation often slows integration and erodes value.
We ensure data and systems integrate in a way that supports scale, visibility, and future acquisitions.
Pre-deal
Integration diligence
-
Assess integration feasibility and complexity
-
Validate synergies and timelines
-
Identify hidden data and system risks
-
Inform deal pricing and integration plan
Post-deal
Integration delivery
Integrate data across entities and systems
Create a single source of truth
Harmonise KPIs and reporting
Enable scalable, acquisition-ready architecture
Our approach
From feasibility to execution
01
Integration feasibility
DURATION: ~1-2 weeks
Understand what it will take
Key outcomes
-
Clear view of system and data compatibility
-
Realistic integration cost and timeline
-
Identification of risks and blockers
-
Validation of synergy assumptions
02
Integration delivery
DURATION: ~ 8 weeks (where we created the data layer)
Execute with minimal disruption
Key outcomes
-
Unified, system-agnostic data layer
-
Integrated reporting and KPIs
-
Scalable platform for future acquisitions
-
Clear 100-day and phased roadmap
Typical scope
