Mergers, Acquisitions,

and Divestitures

TSA Compliant, every time.

As IT executives, you are sometimes unaware of upcoming M&A activity. It is your job regardless to ensure the on-time execution of a technical implementation resembling open-heart surgery.

These projects come in many shapes and sizes, such as the divestiture of various companies, or acquiring several plants from a competitor. Understanding the technical implications of data, architecture, and overall system impact is critical whether you find yourself on the buying or selling side of an M&A deal.

SAP Carve-Outs

SAP Carve-Outs are triggered by the divesture of plants, companies, business units, or other SAP organizational elements. They also vary significantly regarding how much data must be carved out from the source system.

This is why engaging a partner with M&A experience is critical to meeting your deadlines and ensuring the right data ends up in the right hands.

  • With our transformation software we offer flexible & short-term answers for IT – flexible scenarios such as retroactive spin-offs are possible
  • We provide support from concept to execution: planning, timing, system strategies and technical execution of the project
  • By ensuring continuity in processes and document chains, we keep the impact on the business to a minimum

Full history, or time slice. We’ll ensure that your TSA requirements are met, on time, and legally compliant.

M&A’s are driven by the business. Executing SAP carve-outs smoothly and on-time is critical in the success of a merger or acquisition.
