M&A technology contract separation: Stay strategic

Part of the #Tech @ the heart of M&A series

“M&A technology contract separation: Stay strategic” discusses how a company can execute an effective and strategic technology contract separation by using an approach that frames the separation as a business event rather than a negotiation. Without sufficient preparation, both seller and buyer run the risk of incurring significant costs and violating contractual agreements.

About the #Tech @ the heart of M&A series

In a new series on the role of technology in M&A, #Tech @ the heart of M&A, Deloitte provides a comprehensive overview of M&A technology transformation based on helping clients with the essential steps—from cost management to contract separation through application elements of privacy protection and service delivery components of infrastructure. By providing the building blocks for a clearly articulated, defined, and institution-wide approach to M&A technology implementation, Deloitte clients can free up technology executives for the more important and highest value-add role they can play in the M&A transaction—driving the core technology strategy in tandem with revenue growth and cost-curve optimization.
