The challenge
A Wellington consulting firm was growing rapidly through acquisition. Each company they acquired brought different systems, different security approaches, and different ways of working. Integration was becoming a nightmare, and they needed a coherent strategy.
Our approach
We worked with their leadership team to understand where they were headed, then built a technology roadmap aligned with that vision. Rather than trying to standardise everything immediately, we prioritised the changes that would deliver the most value. Security came first, then collaboration tools, then gradually consolidating other systems.
The outcome
Over 18 months, we helped them integrate four acquisitions smoothly. New staff can be productive within days of joining because the core systems are consistent. Security is centralised and managed properly across all entities. And when they acquire the next company, there is a proven playbook to follow.
