IT M&A Strategy
IT is one of the most costly and complex functions to integrate and is typically a driver of significant synergies while enabling business strategy. IT must deliver value while integrating systems and building a platform to enable the next stage of growth, all without negatively impacting customers and business performance during a time of ownership transition.
Our professionals understand the nuances of navigating these challenges and bring a disciplined approach to deal strategy, due diligence, integration planning and execution, and operational performance improvement. With proven methodology, tools, accelerators, and experienced leadership, we can establish a program within days and manage the playbook to integrate deals from acqui-hire to large scale transformations, carve-outs, and divestitures.

Our IT M&A Services
IT Due Diligence
We support private equity and corporate buyers with a comprehensive approach that covers the full lifecycle of IT management, enabling buyers to make informed decisions about the strategic advantages and limitations of their technology environment.
IT M&A Playbooks
Our playbooks are tailored to each deal to organize IT leadership around deal strategy, provide a framework to capture capabilities required to accelerate growth, and supply a method to define the end state operating model and organization design.
IT M&A Integration
Success in IT M&A integration requires a disciplined, value-added approach that is closely aligned with corporate strategy. Deals are becoming increasingly more complex with technology-driven transformations and digital capabilities for both internal and customer-facing applications. Stout’s technology blueprint anticipates these needs and ensures early alignment of priorities.
IT Carve-Outs & Divestiture
Our professionals have deep expertise in developing carve-out strategies, creating transition service agreements (TSAs), establishing TSA exit strategies to minimize the need for long-term agreements, and facilitating the process of transitioning the business to a buyer while restructuring the seller’s IT operating model and organization.
IT Performance Improvement
From point solutions that target a specific issue to transformational programs with leading technologies, Stout helps clients reimagine how technology can deliver solutions that are more cost effective, enable a better employee and customer experience, and set a platform for future growth. Our approach of creating and enhancing repeatable and measurable processes is designed to provide better visibility, accountability, and governance over strategic IT programs.
