Mergers and acquisitions typically involve deal teams that are geographically dispersed and work for various entities. Deal teams are tasked with performing many activities across multiple functional-areas and through various stages of a transaction. The sheer magnitude and complexity involved with planning, screening, closing and integrating a deal makes it a daunting task. Individual tasks can slip through the cracks only to surface later as potential problems. The impact of overlooked details can be costly, cause delays, increase risk and ultimately erode deal value.

TX2's flagship solution, EMA™ (Enterprise Merger & Acquisition Software™) significantly improves the likelihood of a successful M&A transaction from end-to-end. EMA™ is an M&A framework designed to manage any aspect of the M&A process from any viewpoint and centrally store all information pertinent to a merger, acquisition or divesture.

Centralize Information: deal information is typically decentralized, voluminous and not readily accessible. EMA™ creates a collabortive environment for the entire deal team to share information, communicate rapidly and work effectively.

Manage Complexity: the extreme complexity of M&A deals and their various processes make them difficult to manage. EMA™ guides processes, manages activity, and escalates issues based on your business rules.

Streamline Integration Handoff: once the M&A transaction is complete, deal handoff to the integration team can be non-existent as most of the deal team prior to close moves on to the next project. EMA™ provides deal history and continuity for the handoff to the integration team and improves the possibility of a successful integration.

Monitor and Measure Progress: it is difficult for management teams to monitor and measure deal progress for any stage of a deal including due diligence and post merger integration. EMA™ provides numerous dashboard views that monitor deal progress throughout the M&A lifecycle therefore providing management teams the necessary metrics to set strategic direction and respond to issues in real time.

Capture Corporate Memory: best practices, process templates, documents and financial models are not being captured for future use and reference. Capture your lessons learned and don't repeat the same mistake. EMA™ is a repository that houses all deal information for historical purposes and for repeat use on future deals.

Will you rely only on the people, their experiences and basic software tools for your M&A transactions? How is your organization leveraging technology to monitor all “key business indicators” in your deal activity? If you can’t easily monitor key business indicators for your M&A transaction, how do you know when the deal is off-track and value is eroding? What is the cost of overlooked details and integration delays? Will your customers, your newly acquired employees, your shareholders and board be understanding? Give your management team the tools necessary to maximize deal value, speed processes, lower risk, manage cost and create a clear channel of communication.
