Mergers and Acquisitions
Identity links everything and helps unlock synergies faster.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Require Rapid Integration
Bringing together two IT stacks and user populations is rarely straightforward. Employees and customers of both organizations need to access the right resources across your integrated organization from day one, but you can’t compromise security in the process.
Why Integration is Important
A single source of truth for identity speeds up integration and rationalization—enabling greater efficiency and cost savings. Deliver customer value, new innovations and apps faster while making it simple to divest and onboard new entities moving forward.
Integration Must Be Secure, Flexible and Dynamic
Merging and acquiring highly sought-after tech capabilities can accelerate digital transformation and reinforce your competitive advantage, but not until the right people get access and the technology is fully integrated with your hybrid IT stack.
Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) exploded in early 2021 as a means of taking highly-valued, tech-oriented businesses public. That kind of growth inevitably brings increased attention—making your IT environments a target for cybercriminals and bad actors.
M&A typically spawns reorganization and restructuring, which requires heightened identity and access supervision. As your enterprise reshapes itself through M&A and divestitures, you need to quickly onboard and carve out secure access for entirely new user populations.
Identity and Access Management Accelerates Your Integration
Due diligence likely reveals cyber risk, especially during the deal evaluation and the first 100 days. Effectively remediating and implementing an identity and access management solution is critical to organizations that may be shifting large amounts of enterprise resources. Getting this foundational technology right can help you accelerate your M&A integration and positively impact the success of the deal. It helps you quickly rationalize redundant technologies, onboard users and apps faster, centralize security policies, unify identity data and secure access to digital assets from anywhere.
