We offer:
- Application Portfolio Rationalization, using our proprietary Momentum Methodology, to baseline existing application portfolios and prioritize initiatives, based on business benefit, organizational readiness, and technical complexity. The Momentum Methodology also helps surface potential benefits and risks related to the integration effort.
- IT Service Optimization, to assess and baseline the existing IT processes and infrastructures of the two organizations, to design a best-of-breed Integrated System Development and Service Delivery model for the "post merger" entity.
- Program & Project Management - for critical programs such as a Merger Integration program, by employing proven, industry leading practices - built on PMI best practices and supplemented by the lessons we have learned. This enables you to ensure that the integration activities proceed as planned.
- Data Warehousing (DW) and Business Intelligence (BI) Strategies that help organizations involved in an M&A transaction, maximize the value from DW and BI assets accrued during the merger. Leveraging the Momentum Methodology, Collabera ensures that there is a clear and effective Data Integration strategy, supported by a DW and BI strategy.
- Sourcing Strategy - for any sourcing model (out-sourced, in-sourced, or multi-sourced) that identifies critical business drivers and business/IT requirements of the "post-merger" entity, in order to determine the optimal sourcing strategy.
- Data Conversion - a significant aspect in any integration scenario. Our experience in end-to-end Data Migration programs, with focus on data quality, can help you create additional savings using our Collaborative Engagement Model.
- Consolidated Customer View - a framework that enables you to maintain a single view of customers across channels, products, and lines of business, while integrating diverse customer bases and information repositories, resulting from an M&A activity.
- Application Development - to help in a variety of Systems Integration initiatives, including development of new functionality, interfaces, or adaptors to help applications (across merging organizations) talk to each other.
- QA/Independent Testing - a critical aspect of all technology initiatives, stemming from M&A activity. We help address this spike in demand for testing, by supporting a variety of functional integration/regression/performance testing requirements, arising in a post-merger scenario.
