Architecture.
Execution.
Continuity.

Turn transaction complexity into an actionable technology plan.

A one-day on-site workshop for IT leaders and technical teams navigating mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, integrations, and closures. CTA brings the right business and technical people together, exposes dependencies and decisions before they become schedule problems, and converts the discussion into a practical runbook your team can execute.

Our MethodWhat We Deliver

Primary product: one-day on-site transaction technology workshop + client runbook

The problem

What changes when the ink dries

A signed deal sets dates that infrastructure has to meet, whether or not the estate is ready. Three clocks start at once. Is your team ready for what comes next?

Identity & access

Domains, directories, and credentials split or merge on a contractual date, not a convenient one. Who can log in to what on Day 1 is an engineering decision that has to be made early.

Networks & data

Circuits, sites, shared platforms, and data stores have to be separated or joined without an outage the business can feel — and the dependencies between them are rarely documented in one place.

The TSA clock

Transition service agreements start running the moment the deal closes. Every entanglement left unmapped is a service you keep paying for — and a deadline that gets harder to hit.

The product

A facilitated technology workshop — not another presentation

Continuity Technology Advisory uses a structured discovery sequence to guide your leadership and technical team through the transaction, surface hidden dependencies, force the important questions early, and turn what we learn into an actionable client runbook.

Status: Ready — starting a transaction

Transaction Technology Jump Start

One-day on-site facilitated workshop + runbook

For IT leaders, program leaders, and technical owners at the beginning of a merger, acquisition, divestiture, carve-out, integration, or closure who need to move from scattered information to a coordinated technology plan.

You leave with

  • A detailed discovery to move you from planning to execution
  • Target-state priorities, risks, blockers, assumptions, and unresolved decisions
  • Sequenced actions with owners, dependencies, decision points, and items capable of driving the critical path
  • A practical client runbook your team can use to drive budgeting, procurement, architecture, and follow-on implementation work

Format — one full day, on premise, with business and technical decision-makers in the room

Status: Attention — program in trouble

Stuck in the Mud

Focused recovery workshop for programs already in flight

For technology workstreams that have stalled, slipped, changed scope, or lost momentum. CTA uses the same structured discovery sequence to identify the actual constraint, then concentrates the workshop on that problem until the team has a workable recovery path.

What we do

  • Independent review of the current plan and where execution diverged from reality
  • Dependency, blocker, and decision-latency triage across open workstreams
  • Re-sequenced milestones, recovery actions, and accountable owners
  • Options analysis when scope, timing, resources, or transaction strategy shifts

Format — scoped to the situation

Timing

Where each engagement lands

Every transaction runs the same broad arc. The earlier the technology workstream starts, the more options it has.

  1. DiligenceUnderstand the estate before the price is set
  2. SignDates become contractual
  3. Close / Day 1Ownership changes; systems must work
  4. TSA periodShared services unwind on a billed clock
  5. Exit & steady stateStandalone or fully integrated operation

On-Premise Jump Start — strongest at the start: diligence through Day-1 planning, before dates harden.

Stuck in the Mud / Aid & Assist — any point after the plan has met reality and needs help getting back on schedule.

Scope

Where we add value

Mergers & acquisitions

Joining organizations and technology estates: architecture, connectivity, identity, application dependencies, infrastructure readiness, cutover planning, and integration sequencing.

Divestitures & carve-outs

Separating businesses cleanly: standalone architecture, infrastructure and identity readiness, dependency management, TSA exit planning, cutover sequencing, and operational transition.

Closures & wind-downs

Closing or consolidating operations: preserving what the business and regulators require, sequencing decommissioning, migrating services and data, and exiting contracts and facilities cleanly.

What We Deliver

Structured discovery converted into action

Capture information once, then progressively operationalize it. CTA facilitates the conversation, documents what matters, and converts discovery into decisions, dependencies, ownership, and next actions.

1

Discover

Bring the right people together and systematically expose current state, constraints, assumptions, dependencies, risks, and missing information.

2

Decide & sequence

Identify what must be decided, who owns it, what can happen in parallel, and which lead times or dependencies can drive the critical path.

3

Operationalize & transition

Convert the workshop into a usable runbook of priorities, owners, actions, risks, decisions, and follow-on work, then transition execution to the appropriate customer teams and delivery partners.
