The whitepaper below is part of a series focused on how IT can increase deal value and minimize business risks during a transaction. The series highlights principles that KPMG in Canada’s Technology M&A team leverage to help maximize value and minimize risks for clients across industries.
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), data is an incredibly valuable asset, as it enables detailed insights that support effective decision-making and improve deal efficiency.
Data migration is critical but challenging due to compatibility issues between old and new systems, and the need to maintain data integrity and security during the transfer. Having consistent Master Data Management (MDM), where there is a single source of truth, a master record for each person, place, and thing in the business, is critical.
In this article, we will explore how to minimize risks and maximize deal value through effective data migration strategies. We will discuss the importance of relevant data, the key risks in different phases of data migration, and how to handle sensitive information.
