Mastering Complex Deals and Integration
KPMG’s 2024 study on Technology, Media, and Telecom (TMT) mergers and acquisitions (M&A) highlights the challenges of complex deals driven by high interest rates, regulatory scrutiny, and shifting valuations. Successful integrations prioritize capturing revenue and cost synergies while managing talent and aligning technology. Generative AI is emerging as a tool for structuring and strategy, although its role in post-close execution remains limited. Key integration challenges include retaining talent, aligning customer experience, and synchronizing sales and IT systems. Effective deals focus on diversification and tech acquisition.
