Mergers and Acquisitions
USE CASE
Eliminate M&A Challenges with Automated, Accurate Discovery
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are realities in every industry. While they can rapidly build strong organizations with key strategic advantages, they also create big challenges for IT teams. It’s no longer an option to simply put off consolidation and right-sizing isolated silos after a merger or acquisition.
Leaders who manage infrastructure, operations and applications must get full visibility into the enterprise before issues that affect customer experience, compliance, documentation and data security can develop.
But with significant internal changes, there are often many unanswered questions.
- Where are the existing physical, virtual, and cloud devices that now must be brought together?
- What kind of routing and connectivity exists between the facilities before, during, and after the acquisition?
- What storage components are currently in use and how are they connected?
- What applications run across the enterprise? What dependencies exist between these applications that deliver business services?
- Are duplicate applications and licenses in use?
- Where are all the credentials (passwords, SSH Keys, etc.)?
- Are all configurations and config files known and correct in the newly combined enterprise?
So where are the answers?
Unfortunately, many organizations rely on sheer manual effort — using time, effort and spreadsheets — to get partial visibility into the complex and changed IT estate. This makes consolidation a long, painful, and costly process.
