Two enterprises integrating into one cannot operate and compete effectively with separate views of customers, products, and other critical master information. True integration and business value is only realized through a single, enterprise version of "the truth."

EMC Consulting can help you meet the challenges of integrating critical master information to get a single, shared 360-degree view across the organization. We can address the complexities of master information integration, standards, policies, and governance, as well as quality and risk management.

After a merger or acquisition, you may find it necessary to rethink the number of data centers you deploy. You may also need to modify your data center architectures to minimize costs related to facilities and infrastructure. Your new organization faces requirements to reduce overall data center and IT total cost of ownership.

EMC offers an information-centered approach to streamlining your information infrastructure. We can consolidate and relocate your data centers, enabling you to realize cost, energy, and service delivery benefits.

A merger and acquisition presents organizations with the challenge of analyzing and rationalizing redundant and costly application systems across the new enterprise. Streamlining and integrating business processes and the technology to support automation is critical to achieving a seamless operating environment. Product complexity and previous large investments in existing communication and collaboration infrastructures make it challenging for the merging organizations to select, implement, and migrate to the right system.

EMC Consulting can help you rationalize your application portfolio, standardize and integrate application environments to support the new business strategy, and reduce total cost of ownership.

Executing a successful transition from two separate companies to one integrated organization is challenging. Bridging the communication gaps between the two companies and defining the change process requires tremendous planning and orchestration to ensure success.

EMC's structured approach to Enterprise Program and Change Management focuses on collaboration, adoption, and success measurement. We align stakeholders around the transition goals and use on-going structured communication to smooth the path to unification.
