Post-Merger Integration Mentoring
Helping you Deliver your Acquisition Integration
Intista are experts in Acquisition Integration, in a process known as Post-Merger Integration. We help companies that acquire businesses, integrate their acquisitions. We focus upon "lower-mid to mid-size" acquisitions, where the acquired business typically has between 30 and 300 employees. An individual or a small team will guide your team through the preparation, planning, and delivery of your integration.
CAIM Advisory engagements are recommended with more complex integrations, or where acquirers have few resources that they can dedicate to running an acquisition integration. We provide experts, service providers, and advisors who are Certified Acquisition Integration Managers.
What do we do?
Our role is to demonstrate and guide your team through:
- Objectives definition
- High-level planning
- Announcement
- Integration kick-off
- Detailed project planning
- Execution of the projects
- Reporting to leadership
How long are our engagements?
- If you already have an integration process and want to get some suggestions, it may be a few hours' work done remotely
- If you have a large, complex integration, you may want somebody to be a dedicated resource for many months
- Usually our engagements are between these two extremes, where we work a limited number of hours per week, mentoring and guiding your management team through the integration preparation and delivery
Why don't we talk about company revenues, or the deal size for an acquisition when we talk about size?
Integrations can be complex, messy, and stressful. The problems and the solutions are associated with the people within the businesses, not the size of the deal. The success of an acquisition is associated with people. We look beyond the spreadsheet to achieve the value of the acquisition by working on and with the people within the businesses.

Holistic Thinking
Really appreciate your dedication, professionalism, hard work and holistic thinking.
Made for a Better Culture
Able to assume solutions many times before problems occur and can remain collected. …also quickly made personal relationships with members of both companies and helped to integrate them by learning process and introducing counterparts. It not only made for a better culture, but a smoother run in streamlining both lines of business.
Strongly Recommended
We [were] dealing with a big integration project between a China and a Europe based company.
A great experience... [the] contribution to our email migration project is highly appreciated, excellent communication and coordination skills are highly praised.
Definitely Steve and his company will be strongly recommended to our partners. I would say that if we have any chance doing the project based in USA and Europe, they will be on the preferred vendor list for sure.
Value Beyond the Scope
They were very responsive to my needs and gave added value beyond the scope I requested, finding gaps that we didn't realize were there. The attitude, support and professionalism were outstanding. We would have no hesitation in asking them back for future projects.
Building trust with all parties
Intista provided invaluable knowledge and assistance during the creation of our original integration plan in anticipation of our initial acquisition. The combination of general training and individualized assistance provided the confidence to successfully create and execute on our plan. Of special note is the importance Intista gives to the human side of integrations. Building trust with all parties involved by being direct, honest and compassionate in all aspects of communication and actions is critical.
I would recommend Intista to those looking at their first acquisition and merger project or those looking to improve their integration experience for all involved.
The Results are There
Intista were really helpful in strategic planning and finding solutions. We had positive results that helped the company and employees move forward. They were definitely worth the time. The results are there, and motivation is part of the process.
A Huge Positive Difference
Extremely organized, detail-oriented, thorough, timely, and importantly... made a huge positive difference on many occasions, helping to gain loyalty, bridge differences, and get newly acquired companies up and running
