With our professional IT Carve-out Management, we support you in the structured divestment of business units. We develop tailored separation strategies, evaluate financial and operational aspects, and guide the entire transformation process. Through precise planning and targeted change management, we minimize operational uncertainties, ensure continuity, and maximize the value of the divested units. Our pragmatic approach promotes efficient resource allocation and paves the way for sustainable success.
Structured Transformation
Service Components
At the core of Carve-out Management consulting is our IT project and program management, which enables targeted realignment of IT infrastructure and systems through central control functions and comprehensive risk management.
Our Project Management Office (PMO) supports the project or program management by coordinating all activities, optimizing resource planning, and ensuring maximum efficiency through transparent schedule monitoring.
The technical aspect of the Carve-out process is handled by our Implementation & Migration Support, which is responsible for separating, transferring, and integrating IT systems, data, and applications into the new target architecture – underpinned by detailed migration plans and structured testing procedures.
Additionally, our Interim IT Management brings in experienced executives who provide the necessary expertise at short notice, close critical gaps, and ensure continuous control throughout the entire process.
Technical Components of Carve-out Management Consulting Support
The starting point of a successful carve-out is a detailed analysis of the existing IT landscape. We capture hardware, software, networks, systems, and processes, create a precise target-actual comparison, and uncover optimization potentials and risks. On this clear basis, we define separation guidelines and create the prerequisites for an independent IT structure that secures future business success.
As part of the carve-out, it is crucial to strategically separate and realign network structures. We analyze existing and define new infrastructures, interfaces, and security standards to ensure a stable, scalable, and secure network environment. This ensures clear communication channels and smooth operation of separate IT networks.
During the IT carve-out, we standardize end devices and operating systems, provide targeted training for users, and establish central support structures. This reduces compatibility issues and facilitates the transition to the new IT environment, ensuring that all employees are seamlessly migrated and productivity is maintained.
To quickly realize the added value of the carve-out, we review ERP and non-ERP systems as well as license management. We analyze existing applications, identify overlaps, and develop concepts for targeted separation and transfer to the new IT structure. This ensures that systems work together efficiently, compliance is maintained, and long-term cost savings are achieved.
For seamless communication in the carve-out, we rely on a unified collaboration platform. We review and consolidate existing tools and supplement them with modern solutions if needed. An important component is the migration of data to the target environment. This improves information flow, promotes exchange between teams, and supports the transition to the new, networked work environment.
A central component of the IT carve-out is the restructuring of server infrastructures and data centers. We evaluate and consolidate existing hosting solutions and adapt them to modern virtualization and scaling concepts. The goal is to create a powerful and secure IT platform that reliably supports the operation of business-critical applications.
Even during a carve-out, security remains the top priority. We unify security policies, firewalls, encryption technologies, and access management to establish a consistent protection standard. Through regular audits and continuous controls, we ensure the integrity of data and systems, implementing a robust security concept that effectively defends against cyber attacks.
As part of the IT carve-out, we coordinate the integration of external service providers and adapt existing service contracts to the requirements of the new IT landscape. We review contracts, evaluate providers, and harmonize service level agreements. Through targeted negotiations, we ensure continuous and high-quality service delivery, which significantly contributes to the stability of the independent IT structure.
We support you in realigning your IT organization as part of the carve-out. This includes defining clear support processes and implementing modern IT service management methods. Our goal is to establish a flexible, customer-oriented operating model that guarantees quick response times and high service quality. Through continuous process optimization, we secure the long-term success and performance of the new IT structure.

Success Stories
Experience That Counts
“Thanks to the excellent collaboration with the Digatus team, Yunex Traffic successfully separated all EUC services from Siemens and migrated all 3,500 users in more than 25 countries to a modern cloud-based computing environment. The global carve-out from Siemens was an extremely complex project with a fixed schedule, and the successful outcome was only possible due to Digatus’s solution-oriented and customer-focused approach. I am very much looking forward to working with Digatus again in the future.”
