How tech foundations speed up M&A and create startup value

EY Microsoft Services Group, Microsoft and Summit Carbon Solutions panelists discuss challenges faced during company incubations and integrations, including how implementing a rapid foundation for ERP and sales reduces implementation time. 

When integrating, separating or incubating a new company, business unit or product line, you focus on the opportunities ahead. However, the operational transition can be time-consuming, complex and costly, especially if the transformation drags on. 

Systems can also be impacted by legal and regulatory rules. These challenges can be solved by implementing a rapid foundation for ERP and sales models using a proven approach that reduces design and implementation time frames.

Listen in as the panel discusses a client’s journey and how they sped up their implementation using a “why not” design thinking approach to recommendations that work for mostly everyone, almost every time, with fewer customizations. They will review the challenges, opportunities, and how it helped realize financial benefits sooner with fewer headaches and reduced risk.

Topics to be discussed:

• Technology challenges with integrations, separations and incubations
• How local rules, regulations and tax implications can impact those challenges
• Advantages of stepping away from the way it has always been
• How a templated approach can be a springboard to growth and reduce risk at the same time
• How to build for future innovation and scale
