Merger and Acquisition Services

Knowing when to capitalize on opportunities to expand your business is one of the more challenging aspects of the entire merger and acquisition process. Program Advisors goes deep into the weeds of both your business and the potential asset. As you’ll see below, we leave no stone unturned, providing the client with the knowledge it needs to make an informed decision. Here’s how it works:

• First, we assess the opportunity.
  
  • We review staffing (current state versus combined state) to quantify potential labor cost reduction.
    
    • As a result of commodity services consolidation.
    • Resulting from management integration.
    • As an outcome of eliminating redundant platforms.
  • We evaluate technology and vendor overlap (common suppliers, as well as technology, overlap with disparate suppliers).
  • We review strategic systems plans to identify common initiatives and initiatives which might no longer be necessary or of the same scale with the merger.
  • We assess technology areas for opportunities to combine vendors and efforts to drive out costs (such as telephony, PACS, data networks, etc.).
• We document short- and long-term portfolio and infrastructure consolidation plans, including:
  
  • Strategic systems plans.
  • Cost savings.
  • Required investments.
  • IS Department structure and staffing.
