Start-up IT integration assessment tool

The acquisition of a Start-up can be very different to standard M&A activity. A successful strategy for IT integration often requires a non-traditional, case-specific approach.

Deloitte has developed a brief self-assessment tool – based on real case scenarios and our best practices. This tool will quickly provide you with initial insights into your IT integration journey.

In our research we identified 5 key layers of IT (as presented on the graph below) that are essential for a successful integration of a Start-up. We measured the industry-specific integration depths of each of these layers. This enables the selection of the most viable and industry tailored approach.

The main reasons to assess your Start-Up IT integration approach:

1. Integration of a Start-Up is often a challenge and may be very specific to a particular scenario and depend on the purpose of the acquisition and related industries. Our tool quickly determines the scenario of your acquisition and gives you immediate initial insights into a feasible approach on the IT integration.
2. Our tool provides you with a blended feedback based on: (1) real and similar cases, (2) IT M&A market best practices, (3) our experience. It is not a theoretical framework but a blend of knowledge and experience.
