New Synergy Tracker from Slalom and DealRoom Empowers M&A Teams to Maximize Synergy Realization on Every Deal
Seattle, WA - Slalom, the global business and technology consulting company, has partnered with DealRoom, the leading provider of M&A lifecycle management software, to launch an innovative new Synergy Tracker for M&A. This groundbreaking add-on capability to the DealRoom M&A Optimization Platform combines Slalom’s proven value-based integration methodology with DealRoom’s software expertise to revolutionize synergy realization in mergers and acquisitions.
Today’s M&A teams face challenges with realizing the full value of their integrations due to fragmented processes and siloed information. Traditional methods, such as spreadsheets for tracking synergies, can lead to misalignment and inefficiencies. Synergy Tracker addresses these issues by providing a central location that enables teams to define, track, and report synergies with full visibility and alignment to the original goals.
“Our focus for any M&A integration is to help our customers be value-centric, people-focused, and enabled by technology,” said Chris von Bogdandy, global M&A lead at Slalom. “The new Synergy Tracker capability will enable that focus through a centralized platform for deal management – helping them work quickly and efficiently to realize more value through their deals.”
By linking integration plans directly to synergy targets, Synergy Tracker allows teams to focus on real-time value realization. This approach streamlines the integration process and accelerates synergy realization compared to traditional methods.
Key features of the Synergy Tracker capability include:
Centralized synergy management: A single location to define synergies, connect integration plans, and track progress.
Customizable tracking: Flexible fields and data points tailored to the unique needs of each deal.
Visibility and alignment: Clear insights into how individual tasks contribute to overall synergy goals, fostering collaboration and eliminating silos.
Robust reporting: Comprehensive tools to monitor synergy targets, costs, and achievements over time.
Enhanced collaboration: Permissions settings to control access and ensure relevant team members can view and edit necessary information.
Early users of the Synergy Tracker capability have reported significant improvements in their M&A processes, highlighting enhanced alignment and quicker realization of synergies. This feedback underscores the platform’s powerful impact on achieving successful integrations.
“Synergy Tracker provides the connective tissue between corporate development and integration teams who are usually siloed due to separate trackers, tools, and processes,“ says Kison Patel, CEO & Founder of DealRoom. “By empowering teams with Slalom's value-based methodology and DealRoom's synchronized approach to diligence and integration, Synergy Tracker drives visibility, alignment, and ensures that M&A teams maximize synergy realization on every deal.“
