in times of change
Navigating IT complexity during Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures.
When change gets complex, we make IT work
At Ehlers Group, we specialize in managing the complex integration or carve-out of IT infrastructure during organizational change. Whether you’re acquiring, merging, or divesting business units, we ensure seamless IT transitions — aligning technology, people, and processes across borders.
With deep expertise in international project management and cross-functional coordination, we help global companies execute profound structural changes without disrupting operations.
Our proven methodologies are designed to minimize operational overhead by systematically reducing remnant costs and eliminating technical debt. This allows our clients to keep Opex low, streamline their IT landscape, and transition into leaner, more sustainable operations post-deal.
Our core services
IT Integration for M&A
We align and consolidate IT infrastructure and non-ERP applications across newly combined entities. From user access and communication tools to local IT services, we manage the transition with minimal business disruption.
IT Carve-Outs for Divestitures
When spinning off business units, we plan and execute the separation of IT assets — ensuring clean data segregation, independent infrastructure setups, and a smooth handover to the acquiring party or new entity.
Global IT Project Management
We support multinational initiatives by coordinating global project teams and local IT. We ensure stakeholder communication and track local execution to stay aligned with global strategy.
Site Assessments & Risk Analysis
Before any transition, we assess the current IT landscape, identify local constraints, and develop a detailed risk mitigation plan tailored to your specific structure and systems.
IT Stabilization & Synergy Realization
After the TSA phase, we help the buyer identify synergies and reduce costs while assisting the seller with a thorough IT cleanup. We fine-tune systems, optimize performance, and ensure long-term stability for both integrated and separated environments.
Data Analytics Lab
We harness advanced data analytics to optimize project execution, helping you manage large volumes of data efficiently. By turning data into actionable insights, we enhance decision-making, streamline operations, and improve project outcomes from start to finish.
Why Ehlers Group?
We have experience in supporting changes or operational tasks that require managing a high number of stakeholders. This expertise is useful in numerous cases: Completing large company mergers or divestitures, executing worldwide rollouts of new IT solutions, designing and implementing new operational processes, etc.
Being able to work in 4 languages (German, Spanish, Catalan, and English) is an additional advantage when working in an international environment.
What moves us?
In spite of having a defined scope, at the end of a project, the organization/company has embraced a new way of doing things, but much too often, there are still costs or processes that were part of the old situation and add no value.
At Ehlers Group we believe that it is possible to execute projects, and a project portfolio, reaching the goal in the planned amount of time and cost, but also leaving the organization with no remnant costs or a waste of resources.
These companies have already worked with us
Our clients are typically multinational companies who have several local IT organizations and a project that requires someone to facilitate that the local activities are carried out on time and in the expected quality. Nevertheless, we have also done some exciting projects for companies who wanted to re-think the way of managing their project portfolio or needed someone to control a project portfolio temporarily.
