Mergers and
Acquisitions
SDbT has experience in mergers, acquisitions, selling, and integrating
businesses. We can assist you finding the right strategic organization
that meets your personal and business objectives.
Our personal experiences with both our own organizations and with
ePartners and The Aston Group has given us many insights to bringing
together different software organizations.
What sounds like a perfect marriage on paper during the the "courtship"
period more often than not turns out to add little synergy at best, and at
worst can cause the downfall of the entire organization.
Let us walk you through the various processes to help ensure the
highest chances for success. This involves a number of tasks
including:
 |
Selecting the right organization to buy,
merge or be acquired by.
|
|
|
Making sure that due diligence is thorough.
It involves far more than just simply a financial review or audit.
Detailed interviews with management, customers, vendors and employees are
critical.
|
|
|
Developing a Preliminary Integration Plan.
This must be done early in the process. Most M&A transactions fail
in the long run because of different perceptions by both parties of what
the final organization, infrastructure and command and control structure
will look like. Agreeing on this up front will save you much time
and money in the future.
|
|
|
Assisting with a fair and current calculation
to come up with an industry acceptable price tag. Whether you are
buying or selling.
|
|
|
Assisting you through the complex face to
face negotiations as your coach. Success really is in the details
|
|
|
Full Integration Assistance. We can
work with the new organization to make sure all systems, procedures, and
employees are brought together as one. Significant staff coaching is
often required to prevent the natural fear and uncertainty that surrounds
these events. This alone can often doom an M&A transaction.
