Managed Integration
Mergers and acquisitions IT: join identity, Microsoft 365, and line-of-business systems after a deal, with security as the landing zone.
Who it is for
Operators growing by acquisition.
Deal teams, owners, and operators who need the acquired company’s email, files, and line-of-business apps to keep running, and who will not accept a weaker network on the far side of the close. Also teams connecting Microsoft 365 and Power Platform to systems they already run.
What is included
- Mergers and acquisitions IT
- Systems integration
- Power Platform and line-of-business connections
Growth by acquisition
Complexity is real. One owner makes it tractable.
Businesses that grow by merger or acquisition look to EC to handle the join: identity, Microsoft 365, vendors, and line-of-business systems. The work is sequenced the same way every time, because the failure modes are the same: mail that stops, identity that does not join, licences paid twice, and a leftover network with no multifactor authentication.
See both sides
Inventory identity, mail, backups, vendors, and security on both environments while there is still time to sequence the join.
Keep people working
Logins, email, and files have a path. The acquired company is not dark on Monday while the rest of the stack is planned.
Join, then retire
Line-of-business systems, Power Platform connections, and duplicate vendors are cleaned up under the same owner who runs IT and security.
Security is the highest priority
If Integration can join a package off-the-shelf, it stays there. If a package will not do, Engineering builds the gap. Security is the runtime. The target state is the same Managed Security stack: CyberSecure Canada certified, with endpoint, identity, email, backups, and awareness. A leftover network with no MFA is not acceptable.

Features and benefits
How the practice actually runs.
Built for growth by acquisition
M&A IT is a published offer: join identity, Microsoft 365, vendors, and line-of-business systems so the acquired company keeps working.
Security first
The landing zone is the same CyberSecure Canada certified stack as Managed Security.
One owner
IT, security, and the connection work sit in one B.C. firm through cutover and after.
Systems integration
Connect the systems a business already runs so data and process survive the join.
Power Platform and line-of-business
Microsoft Power Platform and line-of-business connections on the Microsoft 365 layer.
Vendor and licence hygiene
Duplicate contracts and licences are cleaned up so you are not paying twice or left without support after day one.
Proof
Two companies means two identities, two Microsoft 365 tenants, and two vendor lists. We plan the join before the first Monday and land both sides on the same security stack.

Questions
Do you handle IT through a merger or acquisition?
Yes. That work sits in Managed Integration when the join is off-the-shelf. Custom code moves to Managed Engineering.
Do you handle mergers and acquisitions?
Yes. Mergers and acquisitions IT is this practice. See the child page for the join sequence. Security is the landing zone.
Is M&A IT part of this practice?
Yes. See Mergers and acquisitions IT.
Do you have a named M&A methodology?
The work is sequenced as before close, day one, and after close, with the CyberSecure Canada certified stack as the landing zone.
Does security wait until after the merge?
No. Security is the highest priority. The target state is the same stack as Managed Security, including MFA.
Do you only integrate Microsoft?
The work is systems integration, Power Platform and line-of-business connections, and M&A IT. Tell us what has to be joined.
