Mergers & Divestitures: When The First 100 Days Have Come... and Gone.

When companies experience Mergers or Divestitures (merge
or separate) two different
procurement cultures,
processes, and data systems
can clash.

The result, while integration teams try to sort out systems and people is that both
companies continue to buy goods and services as they have.

The mergers & divestitures opportunities to realize savings benefits and
improve procurement efficiencies in the
critical first 100 days are lost.

Problems that arise during
mergers, acquisitions, & divestitures

  • Lack of a cohesive view of spend
  • Disparate systems and processes lead to lack of clarity
  • Different procurement management cultures lead to inconsistent compliance
  • Redundant and overlapping spending
  • Overlooked contractual obligations
  • Inability to identify critical supplies
