Modernising Legacy Systems Post-Acquisition
In private equity-backed organisations, acquisition is often the catalyst for growth, but without the right technology foundation, it can just as easily become a source of friction. Β As new businesses are brought into the fold, legacy systems, overlapping applications, and fragmented data architectures quickly become barriers to integration and scale.
Our advice: donβt treat this as a back-office clean-up task. The ability to realise value post-acquisition depends on having the right operational and technical foundations in place. That means assessing not just the applications, but your IT capability, IT capacity, and readiness to execute and support change. Done well, modernisation becomes a strategic enabler, accelerating integration, improving performance, and driving measurable business outcomes.
This paper explores why modernisation is critical in a post-acquisition context, whatβs required beyond technology, and how to build a roadmap that delivers outcomes at pace, without compromising control.
