Create In-House Integration Competencies
Your People. Our Expertise
Let's have a conversation about building your integration team
Acquiring businesses is expensive. Integrating the businesses is where you get the value from your acquisition. If you have the resources to integrate your add-on acquisitions, but need a process, templates and guidance, Intista will help you develop your in-house competencies.
How does your business develop the in-house competencies to successfully integrate your acquisitions?
Businesses that do not successfully integrate acquisitions waste the opportunity of value creation. With every subsequent acquisition, the pain of not integrating becomes greater, as the burden of multiple processes, tools and operational methods prevents growth.
Intista will develop your employees into your in-house integration team.
Lower-mid and mid-size businesses are often torn: they know they need external expertise, but want to retain the skills within their teams. Take advantage of Intista expertise to train , certify, and mentor the people in your business to integrate acquisitions.

The Solution

Why Use External Help to Build an Internal Team?
External resources have gone through the learning curve of theoretical and practical aspects of integration. They bring the skills and capabilities you'll need to get off the ground. Additionally, partners provide capacity, freeing up your resources to be used elsewhere.
Internal expertise ensures business change. The people who develop integration skills will be with your organization, and can pass on the lessons learned and processes that fit your business.

Building your In-House integration team
We train, certify, and mentor employees in how to plan and deliver an integration. This is done through a program of training, certification and integration mastermind sessions, in our Certified Acquisition Integration Manager (CAIM™) program
The Five-Steps to a Successful Integration Team
Certification engagements are for businesses that intend to grow through multiple acquisitions.
- Repeat acquisitions are successful when a team (either full time or part-time) is made responsible for integrating the acquiring and acquired businesses
- Having studied and passed the final exam graduates earn a digital badge that is shareable on LinkedIn™ and verifiable
- Integration Mastermind sessions give you a forum to extend and apply your learning to real world situations taking place in your business. You can discuss and ask questions of integration experts
The CAIM™ certification last two years, after which recertification is required.
Hybrid Solutions
For many businesses, the Certified Acquisition Integration Manager (CAIM™) program will either improve an integration team, or give a new team the grounding they need to get set up their own Integration Management Office (IMO).
Some businesses need a hybrid solution that combines the online learning and certification with specific support. Typical reasons for this are:
- You have to climb the learning curve very quickly
- You cannot afford to the time to create your company-specific templates, and processes
- You must deliver a high level of success on your first integration
- Your business poses some complexities
- The first integration is relatively complex
- There are difficulties selecting the correct workstream leaders
What is a hybrid solution?
This is a combination of online learning and advisory services
The benefits are
- Lower cost than bringing in consultant full-time
- Focuses consultants on specific issues only
- Shortens the learning curve

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.
