M&A Consulting

Why choose to undergo a merger or acquisition?

Businesses have many reasons for undergoing a merger or acquisition. In the case of acquiring a company, the target business may have a desirable product line, a lucrative customer base, or any number of strategic advantages. For a company being acquired, the owners may want to cash out on their investment, and/or the acquiring company may offer significant advantages in terms of operational support, diversification, taking over debt, and overall capabilities.

In the case of a merger, both companies typically possess their own unique advantages that make it desirable to join forces. These could be things like partially overlapping specializations or customer segments, giving the combined organization a larger market footprint; excellence in specific products, services, or operational approaches; or financial drivers such as cashflow or debt. 

Why choose M&A consulting?

Mergers and acquisitions come with significant complexity and potential rewards. But if they aren’t executed properly, mergers and acquisitions will introduce risks for the organizations and people involved. An expert consultancy brings a perspective that is difficult to get with internal resources. This is key to ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing risks.

Here are the main benefits of M&A consulting.

1. You get an unbiased perspective.
2. You get deep experience.
3. You get industry expertise.
4. You get an integrated approach to business and technology.

What should I look for in an M&A consulting company?

Look for a consultancy that meets your needs in three essential ways:

• The right experience, expertise, capabilities, and services as it relates to your industry.
• Has a strong foundation in cybersecurity. 
• Acts like a true partner (easy to work with)

All three components are critical. An M&A consultancy can be experts in your industry, but if they’re a real pain to work with, the relationship may cause more headaches than it’s worth.

On the other hand, a partner could be great to work with—but if they don’t have deep expertise in your industry, then things still aren’t working.

In terms of finding a provider who acts as a true partner, look for these characteristics:

• Capable of implementing your M&A strategy or turning things over to your team
• Approachable, professional, and empathetic
• Has a “can-do”attitude

Here at Corsica Technologies, we’ve got it all covered. From comprehensive capabilities to a “can-do” company culture, we’re making life easier for the people we serve. Contact us today, and let’s explore the next step in your M&A journey.

Do you offer implementation and support, or just consulting?

We are implementors and expert technicians as well as seasoned M&A consultants. If you work with us for a consulting engagement, our team is happy to implement, or we can turn things over to your team, whatever works best for you. At the end of the day, we’re here to see you succeed. 

How are you different from other M&A consulting companies?

Great question! 

Two things set us apart:

1. We bring together business strategy and technology expertise under one roof for a truly holistic approach to M&A integration. 
2. Our implementation team covers every major technology commonly used by businesses today. 

In other words, we’re a true one-stop shop for all things strategy and technology. From consulting to implementation and support, we’ve got you covered. Our team is composed of career experts in :

• Business strategy
• Business transformation
• AI
• IT infrastructure
• Hardware (including HaaS)
• VoIP
• Cybersecurity
• Cloud systems
• Data integration
• EDI
• ERP
• CRM

Do you really handle EDI as well as other major technologies?

Yes! We’re one of the few technology service providers who covers EDI solutions in addition to standard services like cloud management and cybersecurity. Our career experts in EDI work closely with our other specialists to ensure all your essential systems run smoothly—with a strong security practice at the core. 

In fact, this is one of your biggest advantages. It allows you to work with one provider instead of acting as a referee between different partners who don’t care about mutual success. Here’s how our coverage looks:

We already have technology staff. Can you work alongside us?

Absolutely! Our M&A consultants aren’t here to disrupt your team. We’re on your side, and we work collaboratively with you and your staff to achieve great results. 

When it comes to our managed services, we’re flexible. We can cover all your needs in a “fully managed” scenario—or we can act as an extension of your staff in a “co-managed” scenario. It all comes down to what resources you have today, what you need, and where your gaps and goals are.

What does life as a Corsica client look like?

Great question. Everything we do is ultimately about people, and you’ll see that reflected in our day-to-day interactions. You shouldn’t have to deal with M&A consultants who don’t care and can’t actually advise on a complex challenge. We only hire next-level humans who are career experts in their fields.

Our team is:

• Approachable and empathic
• Responsive and respectful
• Intelligent and experienced
• Proactive problem-solvers

Our internal processes and operations are built for one purpose—to make life easier for you. This is especially evident in our managed services practice. Every managed services client has expert personnel assigned to their journey:

• Customer Experience Advisor
• Onboarding Admin
• Account Executive
• vCIO/vCISO (virtual CIO/CISO)

As far as communication, our team is always available 24/7/365 for any technology problem. Because our managed services pricing is simple and predictable, you’ll never get billed more when you need more. It’s all included. This empowers your team to go on doing what they do best—rather than fighting technology problems.
