IT as a success factor in M&A transactions – mgm at Rethink M&A 2025

Last Updated on 8. September 2025 by mgm-marketing

On 22 and 23 September 2025, the M&A community will meet at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Frankfurt am Main for Rethink M&A. Discussions will focus on a topic that can determine the success or failure of a transaction: the role of IT.

IT flexibility and business continuity as key factors

M&A transactions regularly present companies with the challenge of aligning their IT landscape flexibly while ensuring continuous business operations. Mastering this balance is crucial to minimising risks and fully exploiting the value of the transaction.

Our strength lies in providing professional support to organisations at every stage – from planning to implementation:

  • Holistic analysis and structuring of M&A projects
  • Efficient project management that ensures business continuity
  • Planning and implementation of technological integration through migration of IT components and data
  • Creation of contractual foundations and support in TSA negotiations
  • Support with organisational changes as well as change management and communication to ensure acceptance

Holistic approach across the entire life cycle

We support M&A IT projects from scoping and planning to contract conclusion and transformation towards the target operating model (TOM). We do not view IT as a peripheral issue, but as an integral, highly complex component of every M&A programme.

Through methodology, project management and technological implementation, we create the basis for companies to not only be Day 1 ready, but also to successfully achieve long-term integration.

Our contribution to the success of M&A transactions

Whether in the form of dedicated project roles, by empowering the IT organisation or as a sparring partner for internal teams – our goal is to implement M&A programmes in a structured, efficient and sustainable manner.

Rethink M&A 2025 offers the ideal framework for this: an exchange of ideas on current challenges, best practices and the question of how IT can be used even more effectively as a success factor in M&A transactions.

If you want to prepare your IT organisation for the requirements of future transactions or overcome specific challenges, we are happy to support you – with experience, structure and a clear view of business continuity.
