Externalisation is about utilising external services to enhance the ability and meet the needs of an evolving corporation; in today’s economic climate and ever-demanding world, where Mergers, Acquisitions and Partnerships are very much a necessity. Acando provide the business knowledge needed to identify the mechanisms that make integration begin, to the architects, developers, configuration managers and support resources that monitor and support the integration environments.

Mergers, Acquisitions or Partnerships can increase the size and profitability of your business overnight. This will enable you to take advantage of new economies, new information technology and the facility to diversify into new areas. You might acquire a bigger and better supply chain or customer base, and strengthen your position in the market. A Merger, Acquisition or Partnership can also bring problems; such as draining resources (IT, Finance & Management), and restrictions in connectivity across the corporation, limiting communication and creating huge problems for the IT infrastructure. |

It is therefore vital to assess how quickly, efficiently and cost effectively your organisation can bring your external services into main stream business activities. As a general rule, the majority of externalisation services do not achieve the objectives that the parties hoped to achieve through the transaction. Studies have documented that anywhere from 50 percent to 80 percent of all mergers and acquisitions fail. Information Technology is a major consideration within Externalisation. Due diligence must take place whenever a company changes hands or goes through the process. Firstly there are a number of IT questions that need to be addressed:
·
How do you
share information?
·
Can your
current support organisation handle the change?
·
How do you
develop the service to cope with the relationship?
·
How do you
protect “your” information and allow the right person access the right
information?
·
What will the
user see when they enter the shared domain? |
