Requirements Analysis & System Selection

Mergers and acquisitions constitute one of the most significant drivers of IT System Change. Any system implementation arising as a result of a merger commences in most cases with a Due Diligence Investigation.

A transformation roadmap is created which sets out the scope and timing of the program. The items in the roadmap, whether project or service elements, are the specific routes the bank has to travel on its journey to successful organizational and technological integration.

The key component of the "Due Diligence Investigation" involves comparing the target´s Organization, Processes, IT Applications and Products & Services streams against the acquirer´s in order to ensure that the merged banking environment complies with best practice or Group Standards.
