World-class digital carve-out management

The key to carve-out success is proficient management of the data flow. All assets must be precisely identified, separated, and transferred. This creates a large amount of data that must pass the strictest compliance checks.

The smartmerger.com® carve-out apps offer a unique platform to efficiently manage this complexity, from small deals to multinational transactions with thousands of participants and millions of records.

Orchestrate your team

A carve-out is an enormous challenge for the organization. Employees, most of whom have no M&A experience, must perform additional complex tasks in the carve-out process in addition to maintaining business continuity. This requires digital tools that guide through the process while making multiple disclosures manageable. The central team must have full transparency of the status and be able to identify deviations and risks at an early stage.

Achieve a fast and clean Carve-out

Speed and legal validity are decisive success factors. The faster the organizations separate, the sooner each party can concentrate on its own business (stand-alone readiness). However, speed must not be at the expense of complete documentation, precise contracts including annexes, or compliance. Violations can result in expensive legal disputes later on.

"Although we had made certain assumptions about the performance of our HR Operations across Europe, it was only after we gathered and analyzed with smart assessment the quantitative and qualitative performance data that we really understood the current status and what the challenges were that we had to deal with.

"One of the most impressive USPs of smartmerger.com is their “real-time” capability! Not only were we able to monitor progress throughout the project, but one week after the project closed we were able to present the survey results in a wide variety of reports to our Senior Executive Team, something they had never experienced before, both in terms of quality and speed! All in all, a great experience with a great partner, smartmerger.com."
