Post-Acquisition Consolidation

Unify Systems After Acquisition Without Slowing the Business

Southern Code consolidates data, workflows, and operational platforms after mergers and acquisitions — with fixed scope and senior-led execution.

Senior-led implementation. AI-accelerated execution. Fixed-scope milestones.

The Real Post-Acquisition Problem

Acquisitions Create Operational Fragmentation

When companies merge, systems rarely do.

Disconnected CRMs

Duplicate accounting platforms

Inconsistent data models

Conflicting reporting standards

Manual reconciliation between entities

SaaS sprawl across departments

Without consolidation, integration becomes operational drag.

What We Actually Do

From Fragmented Systems to Unified Operations

System Mapping & Audit

Identify overlaps, conflicts, and redundancies.

Data Model Unification

Standardize entities, reporting structures, and workflows.

Platform Consolidation

Replace duplicate systems with a unified architecture.

Integration Layer Design

Connect remaining systems cleanly and securely.

Workflow Harmonization

Align processes across entities.

Reporting Standardization

Create a single source of truth.

Architecture

How Consolidation Works

Unified Architecture Layer

Data model, integrations, access

Centralized Reporting & Operations

Single source of truth

Not a patchwork of integrations. A designed consolidation.
