Growing through acquisitions. Each new company joins the same IT standard.

The challenge

A value-added electronics distributor, a long-standing client of ours, grew over the years by acquiring other companies. Each acquisition brought a different IT legacy: separate domains and identities, email on heterogeneous platforms, non-communicating management systems, uneven security levels. Without structured integration, each new company would have remained an island — with duplicated costs, uneven security risks and no centralized visibility over the group's IT.

The solution

We have managed this group's IT from the start: that's why we defined a common IT standard and a repeatable post-acquisition integration process. For each new company: consolidation of identities into a single domain, email migration to Microsoft 365 with shared security policies (MFA, anti-phishing), alignment of the ERP to the group infrastructure, extension of immutable backup and endpoint protection with the same rules already active on other branches. The IT onboarding of an acquired company follows a proven checklist, so integration happens quickly and without operational interruption.
