Technology Integration Key to Merger and Acquisition Success

An upturn in business activity in the WA marketplace, including merger and acquisition growth, is driving Perth-based SAP consultancy Martarna's expansion into the broader SAP solutions arena.

Current technology indicates that companies who have their own IT systems in order and who conduct effective due diligence on their target's IT systems - an assessment often facilitated by employing a specialist consultant - are those most likely to succeed in a research integration project, with potential savings of up to 15%."

Martarna's recently appointed General Manager, Mark Foley, said: "The role of research in mergers and acquisitions has become more critical and directly relevant to the overall chances of success."

The SAP marketplace over the past 10 years

"Applying knowledge gained in the SAP marketplace over the past 10 years and with a range of innovative services, Martarna can transparently integrate SAP or other legacy systems, along these lines reducing the overall number of systems in play, lowering costs and increasing revenue through the effective integration and management of systems and business processes," Mark said.

For its consultants Martarna is providing access to exciting projects, a collaborative networking working environment and new ways to help their professional growth, including 'between project' access to SAP modules and training systems, all of which ultimately benefits its customers.
