Our Methodology
for Post Merger Integration
Our methodology starts with the assessment of your current business processes. This step is typically followed by a deep discovery and analysis phase to build as-is and to-be enterprise architecture and process models, followed by the implementation and an optimization plan.
1 Assessment
Through primary and secondary research, this assessment digs into each of your datasets, transactions, and processes to build as-is and to-be process models and architecture with several different options and pros and cons of each approach.
3Solution Analysis
This step digs into the potential solutions, whether they might be process-related or system, and evaluate their pros and cons. This step also identifies a solution that is most financially realistic and agreed upon by all parties.
2Adoption and Optimization
Post implementation, this step measures the desired KPIs and process compliance and adoption in the post-implementation phase. Any deviations? The appropriate steps are taken until the processes are able to hit the KPIs desired.
2Business Process Analysis
This is a deep dive into the as-is and to-be process models, along with exploring the financial and technical feasibility of the chosen option. This phase also takes a deep dive with each stakeholder until they all are aligned with the as-is and to-be state of the desired option.
4Implementation
Depending upon the complexity of the integration, whether the change is simply a process or data change. A minor integration. Or a full-blown digital transformation initiative, the length of this phase could vary.

Business Process Improvement
This service helps in hitting a specific KPI, such as the amount of waste, inventory turns, or demand forecast accuracy.

This process helps reverse engineering the processes deeply buried in business systems. This exercise is helpful for companies that are building operational capacity plans for the next phase of their growth. The process is then followed by the to-be process models, comparing the changes and investment that would be required to grow to the next inflection point.
Business Process Re-engineering
Our business process re-engineering services are especially helpful for companies that might be outgrowing non-standard, heavily customized, or legacy ERP systems. Our process of re-engineering services starts with an assessment, with a thorough analysis of current data and systems, followed by a site visit and interviews with stakeholders.
