Post Merger Integration
We transform integration synergy potential into real competitive advantages: With our ‘Best-of-Both’ approach, we seamlessly integrate IT organizations, processes, and technologies from both companies. We take responsibility for ERP systems, applications, and IT infrastructure, ensuring a harmonious merger. Through agile methods and targeted change management, we minimize friction losses, maximize synergies, and guarantee an efficient, smooth transition.
Seamless IT Transformation
Service Components
Successful Post Merger Integration (PMI) is based on precise planning, close coordination, and the seamless connection of strategy and operational implementation. Our IT Project and Program Management forms the backbone of the transformation process by defining clear milestones, acting as a central control unit, and ensuring a smooth transition of IT systems through comprehensive risk management. The project or program management is supported by our Project Management Office (PMO), which coordinates all activities, optimizes resource planning, and ensures maximum efficiency through transparent deadline monitoring. Each PMI is also accompanied by our Implementation & Migration Support. This manages the technical integration of IT systems, data, and applications into the new architecture – supported by detailed migration plans and structured testing procedures.
Technical Components of PMI Consulting Support
A comprehensive analysis of the existing IT landscape forms the starting point of the integration. Hardware, software, networks, systems, and processes are recorded in detail, evaluated, and merged in a target-actual comparison. In doing so, we identify optimization potential and risks, establish integration specifications, and thus create a transparent basis for harmonizing both IT environments to sustainably secure future business success.
In every integration, it is essential to purposefully merge the network structures of the companies involved. We analyze and unify existing infrastructures, interfaces, and security standards to create a stable, scalable, and secure network infrastructure. This enables smooth data flows, optimizes communication paths, and ensures a seamless transition to an integrated IT network that supports business operations.
As part of the integration, we standardize clients and operating systems, conduct targeted training, and establish central support structures. This minimizes compatibility issues and increases acceptance of new technologies. This ensures that all employees are seamlessly integrated into the integrated IT environment and productivity continuously increases.
To leverage synergy potential as quickly as possible, integrating ERP and non-ERP systems and optimizing license management is essential. We evaluate existing applications, identify overlaps, and develop harmonization concepts. Through targeted measures in license management, we ensure that all applications work together smoothly, compliance is maintained, and long-term cost efficiency is achieved – a crucial factor for system integration.
The goal is to create a unified communication and collaboration platform. We analyze and consolidate existing tools and complement them with modern solutions. This improves information flows, promotes exchange between teams, and creates an agile, networked working environment. The integration of these tools supports digital transformation and ensures efficient, transparent collaboration throughout the entire company.
An elementary component of any integration is the integration and optimization of server infrastructures and data centers. Here, we evaluate and consolidate existing hosting solutions and adapt them to modern virtualization and scaling concepts. The aim is to create a powerful and secure IT infrastructure that meets high availability requirements and ensures the seamless operation of all business-critical applications.
The consolidation and harmonization of security measures are central to the integration process. We unify security policies, firewalls, encryption technologies, and access management to establish a uniform protection standard. Regular audits and continuous reviews ensure the integrity of data and systems. This creates a robust security concept that defends against cyber attacks and sustainably meets compliance requirements.
As part of the integration, we also coordinate the integration of external service providers and service contracts into the new IT landscape. We review existing contracts, evaluate providers, and harmonize service level agreements. Through targeted negotiations and adjustments, we ensure continuous, high-quality service provision. The optimal integration of external partners significantly contributes to the stability and efficiency of the integrated IT environment.
We support you in restructuring the IT organization. This includes defining clear support processes and implementing modern IT service management frameworks. The goal is to establish an agile, customer-oriented IT operating model that guarantees quick response times and high service quality. A smooth organization and continuous process optimization ensure the long-term success and performance of the integrated IT landscape.

Success Stories
Experience That Counts
“An acquisition of this size and associated procedural and technical complexity in integration was a major challenge for our IT department. Having digatus as an experienced and committed advisor by our side already during contract negotiations and during the subsequent implementation was a great benefit for the project and enabled a smooth and successful integration process.”
