YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Thinking about M&A IT? Start here.

What are Merger and Acquisitions (M&A) IT services?
M&A IT services help businesses assess, plan, and manage technology before, during, and after a merger, acquisition, or divestiture.
Why is IT important during a merger or acquisition?
Technology can create significant risk during a transaction. Fairway helps identify IT, cybersecurity, compliance, and infrastructure issues that could affect the deal or integration.
Can Fairway assess a company’s IT before an acquisition?
Yes. Fairway can perform IT due diligence to evaluate infrastructure, cybersecurity, systems, compliance, vendors, technology costs, and potential risks before a deal closes.
What does IT due diligence include?
Everything technology-related, including the people. We review infrastructure, cybersecurity, software, cloud, licensing, compliance, vendors and data. If there’s an in-house IT team, we review their skills too, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Can Fairway help integrate two companies after an acquisition?
Yes. Fairway can develop and manage an IT integration plan covering systems, networks, users, devices, applications, cybersecurity, cloud environments, and other technology needs.
How can Fairway reduce IT risk during an acquisition?
Fairway identifies technology risks early, prioritizes critical issues, and creates a practical plan to address security, infrastructure, compliance, and integration challenges.
Can Fairway help with IT after the deal closes?
Yes. We merge the acquired company’s technology into yours, then keep the combined business running with managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, compliance and strategic guidance.
How long does an M&A IT integration take?
It depends on the size of the organizations, technology environments, systems involved, and integration goals. Fairway develops a timeline based on the specific transaction and business needs.
