IT M&A Services for Healthcare and Life Sciences

 

Our team’s primary focus is IT M&A services for healthcare and life sciences organizations – including IT due diligence, TSA development/administration, Day 1/Day 100 planning and preparation, integration/separation planning (IMO/SMO), and post-transaction IT performance improvement.

​

Why do you need a specialist advisor to assist with the IT portion of M&A?

​

Healthcare IT is unique and complex – and so are healthcare M&A transactions.  At the front-end, Identifying hidden value – or unacceptable risk -  in a target’s IT capabilities requires industry-specific skills and experience.  Thus, our IT due diligence methodology leverages our healthcare experience to probe for:​

​

  • IT’s ability to scale and flex which impacts strategic and operational value

  • IT-related synergies and value creation opportunities

  • Cybersecurity, compliance, controls, business continuity, vendor, and staffing risks

​

Once a deal is agreed upon, our experience in planning and executing IT integrations and separations helps ensure that IT meets the organization’s competing demands for rapidly integrated IT systems, IT integration cost management, and synergistic IT cost reductions.​​
