IT landscapes are evolving at an accelerated pace. Innovative and disruptive new technologies and trends, combined with business changes, such as mergers and acquisitions, are providing a constant flux of IT challenges. Now combine this complexity with ongoing economic instability, the accompanying pressure to reduce costs, and rising business expectation and dependency on IT. Whether a business acquisition, divestiture or carve-out, IT is commonly impacted the most out of all the functional areas. Both as a function in its own right and also in the services it provides to the other business functions. This impact is not limited to in-house, buts across vendors, outsourced partners, SaaS, digital, cloud and ERP service providers. In the case of an acquisition, IT due-diligence findings should also confirm the 'health' of the IT landscape in the acquired company and which of these services will be acquired or subject to TSA's, discontinuation and replacement. The latter, often being the case where the target company is divested from a parent company and dependent on its corporate IT shared services. IT landscapes are evolving at an accelerated pace. |
