Mergers and acquisitions don’t end when the deal is signed. The real challenge begins with integrating systems, processes, and people into a single, unified organisation. At North Signal, we help businesses across Manchester and Greater Manchester plan and deliver smooth post-merger IT integrations, ensuring that technology supports the deal’s strategic goals instead of slowing them down.
The Importance of IT Integration After a Merger
Without a clear integration plan, businesses risk:
- Duplicate systems draining time and money
- Confusion around roles, processes, and data ownership
- Increased security and compliance risks
- Missed opportunities to capture efficiencies
A structured IT integration ensures that the combined organisation is secure, compliant, and operationally aligned from day one.
How North Signal Helps
We provide practical guidance on every stage of post-merger IT planning, including:
- System consolidation — Assessing which platforms to keep, migrate, or retire
- Data integration — Ensuring secure, compliant transfer and alignment of critical information
- Infrastructure alignment — Building a single, scalable foundation for the combined business
- Cybersecurity and compliance — Maintaining GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliance during transition
- Communication and change management — Supporting teams to adopt new systems and processes
Our Approach
North Signal takes a structured, independent, and hands-on approach. We start by mapping the technology landscape of both organisations, identify overlaps and gaps, and create a step-by-step integration roadmap. Every recommendation is grounded in business value, not vendor incentives.
