Choose your M&A modules

eknow is the only solution with dozens of M&A modules and tools for your acquisition integration checklist that you can turn on or off yourself. Is your team managing a post-merger integration? Or deal flow and pre-close diligence? Financial performance? A restructuring, downsizing, or divestiture? eknow will help you choose and enable just the M&A software modules you are ready to use right now. Later, enable whichever tools match your evolving strategic requirements, with a click of the mouse. Disabled modules are invisible to your users until you need them. In fact, even enabled modules are visible only to authorized roles.

Structure

Key to successful execution of M&A is a structured, disciplined process. The problem is the extra work required to “do the right thing" on your acquisition integration checklist and beyond.

eknow M&A software tools entirely remove this obstacle to success, with built-in best practices, process guard-rails, and automated discipline. eknow provides this proven process structure out of the box. But because no two organizations have identical processes, eknow M&A software tools are also designed with the flexibility to accommodate your unique workflow or requirements.

Simplicity

M&A is probably the most complex strategic activity you will undertake. The most important direct benefit of eknow M&A software tools is to tame complexity: the complexity of data, processes, measurement, communications, accountability, and much more.

eknow imposes order and simplicity on chaos and complexity like no other approach to M&A integration checklists. This is why eknow M&A tools allow a few individuals to do the work of a small army — or to manage strategy execution by an even larger army.

Speed

Delays in diligence can cost you the deal. Delays in acquisition integration can rob deal value. Delays in compliance can result in fines or worse.

By fundamentally simplifying, structuring, and automating core processes, eknow M&A tools compress or eliminate many time consuming activities. The result is accelerated execution and reduced risk, whether in opportunity capture, implementation, or benefit realization.

Visibility

How are we doing right now? Exactly what must be done next? Just who is accountable for what?

eknow M&A tools automatically provide the answers to these questions at every instant. By executing your M&A activity in eknow M&A tools, you automatically gain near real-time, top-down visibility of what’s important. See the big picture, and drill down to manage by exception. This direct visibility allows you to make critical mid-course corrections, and further multiplies the speed and simplicity benefit (above) of eknow M&A software and your acquisition integration checklist.

Connect Every Contributor

The eknow M&A software approach makes it easy to directly connect your process to dozens, scores, or hundreds of distributed contributors. Not just core process managers or team leads.

Unify Your Data

eknow M&A software replaces multiple, disconnected information types — spreadsheets, project files, presentations, email, and file sharing systems — with a single, unified model. With the eknow approach, all information is naturally interconnected. Data and changes are easily searched, reported, or audited.

Compress Process Time

The eknow approach automates many tasks and processes, simplifies others, and simply eliminates the need for many more. The result: dramatically reduced process overhead, faster execution, and more time available to run your business.
