Integration

Program Managed the integration of this software business. Set up and monitored the numerous projects within the program. 22 teams were involved, each with their own collection of projects to be coordinated. Teams included development, Professional Services, server and desktop IT, Finance, facilities, and three separate HR departments (each in it’s own global region).

Exor became the founding team in a new Operations team for the acquiring company. This required an internal communications plan to educate colleagues and explain how the market worked.
