Our post-merger integration consultants don’t just manage the process; they partner with you to develop a customized Integration Thesis—a strategic roadmap aligning the integration with your overall objectives. We then focus the integration on the key decisions that drive maximum deal value: defining the optimal operating model for growth, strategically combining go-to-market functions, and proactively addressing cultural differences to ensure a smooth and successful transition..
The Gambling Cockpit’s PMI tailored approach
Strategy
- Designing the perfect Post Merger Integration strategy is key to ensure your acquisitions deliver the full potential expected.
- We build & deliver different scenarios in order to bring results as fast as possible, not relying on a big-bang tactic.
- We developped the « Perfect Cost To Run » framework allowing us to ensure the PMI brings maximum financial results and incremental revenues, without increasing costs.
Program Management
- Either we supported you in the M&A process or not, The Gambling Cockpit manages the full PMI process, from auditing key scenarios or key risks.
- We’re highly experienced in running critical Post Merger Integration projects, in many industries (iGaming, Retail, Start-ups, Corporates)
- TGC doesn’t copy and paste what worked with its previous clients; we adapt any projects to your specific context.
Our convictions on Post-Merger Integration for the Gambling Industry
We’re convinced that acquiring is the easy part, even though it remains challenging. But having a stand-alone product doesn’t always contribute properly to your business strategy.
Merging is often a great solution, but comes with its own difficulties, such as :
- Cultural fit
- Technologic matters
- Redundant assets and resources.
TGC provides comprehensive Post-Merger Integration support throughout the entire process. We partner with clients to develop the ideal integration strategy, perform detailed due diligence, and oversee every facet of execution to guarantee a seamless and successful transition.
