PSWC - Mergers and Acqisitions Service

Mergers and Acquisitions Service

The principal focus for an Enterprise's activity in a Merger or Acquisition is on Products, Markets and People. As business becomes more and more reliant on Information Technology, not just for their day to day administrative functions but also for management of their front-office applications, the IT infrastructure of a business is a key issue to be addressed during the due-diligence phase of an acquisition/merger or, indeed, a disposal.

PSWConsulting offers expert support to clients needing to quickly assess a potential target's/partner's strength and weaknesses in the area of IT and to identify likely costs/benefits of integration.
