Mergers and Acquisitions
Conquer the complexities of an M&A IT Integration. IT integrations for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) aren’t easy or small. This is especially true when you factor in complicated and ever-changing Active Directory (AD) environments. And while each M&A is different, the methodology – and the goal – doesn’t change. Your chance of a successful M&A – and a secure Microsoft environment — is much higher when you implement repeatable processes. Quest offers a complete and repeatable software and services framework for M&As, from Day 0 (IT Due Diligence) to Day 1 (IT Integration) and Day 2 (Ongoing risk management and hybrid Active Directory cyber resiliency).
Don’t complicate M&A IT integrations further by using multiple products from multiple vendors. Standardize on a partner with the tools and expertise to offer a multitude of flexible approaches for Day 0, 1 and 2. Quest is your go-to for a repeatable migration, management and security framework for your Microsoft environment.

Critical M&A Phases
Day 0: IT Due Diligence
Analyze and assess the entire Microsoft and Active Directory environments of
the acquired or divested organization with a repeatable software and services
framework. Conduct an in-depth pre-migration analysis to uncover any technical
and security concerns in the source IT environments, including possible attack
paths that cyberattackers can exploit. Then, you can develop the deployment
approach that will work best for your needs, remediating any of these issues
before you start the first migration job and reducing the risk of missed
deadlines and IT integration failures.
- Maintain focus on the business needs for Legal Day 1 and End State
- Identify infrastructure and cloud cost savings
- Establish Active Directory security gaps, baselines and procedures
