Customer Owned Banking: M&A Readiness Quiz + Migration Manifesto
At NCS we’re acknowledged experts in technology transformation. We partner with Microsoft and have won awards for our best-practice approach to endpoint and identity management. Our Migration Manifesto contains the five commandments of merging and migrating to a single M365 tenant.
Culture: the X-factor in a successful merger
M&A transitions are something we’ve worked on many times. For one client we’ve brought two organisations into a single, inherited environment. In another program, we developed a single greenfield tenant for three distinct brands to share. And what we’ve learned from every engagement is that realising value from these technology transitions hinges on culture as a major consideration.
What has technology got to do with the cultural ‘fit’?
For any transformation project, success comes from understanding the nuances of a business structure and how this shapes technology requirements. When there is a merger involved, this adds an extra layer of complexity because you’re trying to reconcile two sets of requirements for the business to move forward with the best fit operating model and a tech environment to match.
