Streamlining IT Infrastructure Integration During Mergers and
Acquisitions with Orchestral Composer

A leading American multinational pharmaceutical company with a revenue of $71 billion regularly expands its portfolio through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The IT department faced significant challenges in integrating the disparate IT infrastructures of the acquired companies, often resulting in lengthy and complex processes. By implementing the Orchestral Composer platform, the company streamlined the integration process, reduced time-to-completion, and maintained the best features of each IT environment. This enabled the business to capitalize on the benefits of the M&A more effectively.

We brainstormed with Orchestral and designed a methodology to ease the stress on IT teams while maintaining respective processes and naming conventions. This approach allowed us to deliver the integration in record time. We could not have achieved this without Orchestral being an integral partner in designing, developing, and implementing the solution with their Composer platform.

Challenge

The company's IT department faced several critical challenges:

  • Complex IT Infrastructure Integration:
    Merging the IT infrastructures of acquired companies was time-consuming and intricate, often taking months or even years to complete due to the disparate nature of the IT environments.

  • Lack of Standardization:
    Each acquired company had its own approach to building and managing its IT infrastructure, leading to inconsistency and inefficiency in the combined business operations.

  • Loss of Subject Matter Expertise:
    Downsizing IT operations teams to eliminate redundancies resulted in the loss of valuable subject matter experts (SMEs), further compounding integration challenges.

Solution

The company selected the Orchestral Composer platform to address these integration challenges:

  • Tagging and Discovery:
    The solution involved tagging the new IT infrastructure according to established conventions. Orchestral's Data Discovery and Delivery Engine then discovered the assets and added them to the data lake governing the IT infrastructure.

  • Resource Arbitration Engine (RAE):
    Orchestral's RAE utilized the data lake to manage services rendered by the infrastructure, including provisioning and lifecycle management of virtual machines (VMs) and bare-metal servers.

  • Cross-Domain Orchestration:
    Composer's cross-domain and vendor-agnostic orchestration capability enabled seamless management of any IT infrastructure equipment without needing specific SMEs for each entity.
