Acquisition Management Services

IBS's extensive Merger and Acquisition Management Services (AMS) are dedicated to assist you and your organization achieve a win-win solution, not only to close the deal, but also to ensure a successful integration of the acquired venture and its employees. Our skills rest with our ability to assess strategic, administrative, regulatory and cultural considerations to achieve a fully integrated strategy consistent with management's philosophy, objectives and budget targets.

Over the course of several AMS assignments IBS has developed key strategies to utilize during the pre-merger planning and post-merger implementation. These strategies aid in achieving a higher level of successful integration of the acquired venture and its employees.

The critical deal structure considerations addressed to achieve successful integration of merged entities are:

• Strategic
• Cultural
• Financial
• Administrative
• Regulatory

Our AMS consultants address each of the above in great detail from deal discussions through final implementation and roll-out to employees. Our primary objectives in most assignments are to:

• Identify primary factors affecting the pricing of an investment as well as on-going budget impact from an acquirer's perspective beyond the standard valuation component.
• Develop a fully integrated strategy consistent with management's philosophy, objectives, and budget targets.
• Conduct an efficient and timely roll-out to the employees of the merged entity with as little disruption as possible.
