The Challenge
Following a strategic acquisition, a leading financial firm needed to integrate the acquired company’s critical IT infrastructure into its existing environment seamlessly and securely, within a defined timeframe linked to merger and acquisition regulations. The integration required not only merging two distinct networks and systems but also modernising the combined environment to support a hybrid workforce and future growth.
The Solution
Align’s team of Workplace Technology experts developed a comprehensive integration strategy that balanced near-term execution with long-term stability. The team designed and implemented a plan to fully integrate both firms’ critical IT infrastructure while maintaining the integrity of the acquiring firm’s technical standards and operational requirements.
The Result
The project delivered a robust, modern IT infrastructure that successfully supported the integrated companies and was completed on time to meet all critical merger deadlines.
Benefits of Align’s solutions include:
- A unified environment with a single, cohesive platform
- Increased resiliency, security, and efficiency
- Cost savings from a streamlined IT environment without redundancy
- Simplified ongoing management and minimised IT support needed
Ultimately, the project enabled the acquiring firm to move forward with a stronger, future-ready technology foundation — one that supports its business strategy, enhances operational efficiency and positions it for continued growth and innovation.
