You have built your IT staff, network infrastructure, servers and PC’s, and process documentation around your company and the daily requirements of your users. You just found out in 90 days you will be double the size you are now. You now have:

A proven methodology to ensure the success of the project

Double the users to support
Two different email systems
Two networks to integrate and secure
Multiple backup systems
Different operating policies

Spade Technology performs dozens of M&A IT integrations each year and has a proven methodology to ensure the success of the project. A team is assigned consisting of a Project Manager, a Technical Account Manager, and the technical resources needed based on the technology in use within both organizations.

The Process
Our goal is to integrate the two companies with minimal impact on the user community from both organizations while optimizing the resources from each.

A Technology Compass^tm is performed to evaluate each company’s complete IT infrastructure including hardware, software, facilities, ISP’s, processes, documentation, and disaster recovery solutions.
Within the Technology Compasstm areas that overlap, are of concern, or can reduce the overall cost of ownership are identified.
A project plan is developed to ensure the integration is completed on time and within budget.
Our team of experts executes the plan, test, and document.
The Spade Technology SupportWerks^tm system provides the ongoing support needed to maintain this new infrastructure.
