Mergers and Acquisitions processes (M&A) are prevalent phenomena in today’s enterprise sector. Like in every industry, buyers and sellers look to create operational, strategic, and financial value of these transactions. However, there are several various challenges behind each aspect of M&A processes. Some critical of them, such as consolidating new businesses to a single org, separating the org into multiple business lines/ companies, functionalities or data migrations, can or should be supported by technology.

Merge
CRM migrations as part of M&A processes

When two organisations merge, or one organisation acquires another, they often have different CRM systems in place. These systems may contain different data structures, fields, and formats, making it challenging to consolidate customer data into a single, unified database as one CRM. Companies should execute CRM migrations as part of their M&A processes to address these issues. The goal is to migrate all relevant customer data from the currently used CRM systems to the new one and ensure that the data is accurate, complete, and accessible to all relevant stakeholders.

Key steps of CRM migration supporting M&A
  • data mapping
  • data cleansing
  • data transformation
  • data loading
  • data validation

These steps are necessary to ensure that all customer data from every system is appropriately mapped to the new CRM, cleansed of duplicates or errors, transformed into the required format, properly loaded, and validated to guarantee data integrity and accuracy.
