MNC Consulting provides confidential, senior-led technology advice and delivery support for private equity-backed and corporate transactions. We help teams understand the technology position before the deal, plan the separation or integration, and carry the work through to operational control.
MNC Consulting helps sponsors, boards and transaction teams understand technology risk before it becomes deal risk. We work discreetly through diligence, separation planning, TSA assessment and Day 1 preparation, with senior practitioners involved from the first conversation.
We help transaction teams identify the technology-related conditions precedent, separation obligations and completion dependencies that need to be understood before signing and completion.
02 — Services
From transaction plan to operating reality.
From pre-deal diligence and Day 1 readiness to stabilisation, operating model change and technology strategy, MNC brings senior delivery experience to the point where business risk and IT risk meet.
01.
Confidential pre-deal technology advisory
Rapid assessment of the technology estate, separation complexity, technology-related conditions precedent, TSA obligations, shared services, supplier and software contracts, infrastructure dependencies, licensing constraints, data responsibilities, exit costs and Day 1 considerations, provided discreetly before a transaction becomes public.
IT carve-out and IT separation led from diligence through to delivery. Estate, dependencies, contracts, people, suppliers, costs and risks turned into a separation plan that can be briefed, funded and run.
03.
M&A integration and TSA exit
Post-merger integration and the transitional services agreement governed to a clean end: Day 1 readiness, TSA exit conditions, separation perimeter and standalone readiness. MNC can stay for an interim period after the exit, so what has been delivered is not dropped once the deal team moves on.
When an environment is under pressure, we establish what is actually true, put ownership and controls in place, and bring service back to a steady state the business can rely on.
05.
Interim CIO and CTO leadership
Senior leadership in the seat for as long as the situation needs it, with hands-on programme management and workstream leads across every area of technology in the business underneath.
The technology strategy, operating model and transformation programme that follow the transaction, built around what the business actually needs to do next.
Technology separation is rarely just an infrastructure exercise. MNC Consulting helps transaction teams understand the contractual obligations, service dependencies, licences, suppliers, data responsibilities and exit conditions that determine whether a separation can be delivered cleanly.
What needs to be true before completion?
The technology position, separation perimeter, CP dependencies, TSA exposure, supplier obligations, licensing constraints, Day 1 requirements and likely stranded costs are understood well enough to support a sensible transaction decision.
MNC Consulting identifies technology dependencies, delivery obligations and commercial and operational risk so the appropriate legal, procurement and deal advisers can address them.
Transitional Service Agreements and exit obligations
Shared-service dependencies and service schedules
Supplier, outsourcing and managed-service contracts
Software licences, subscriptions and usage rights
Hosting, cloud and infrastructure commitments
Data processing, security and regulatory obligations
Ownership of systems, data and technical assets
Exit assistance and migration support
Knowledge-transfer obligations
Termination rights and renewal dates
Stranded costs and tail spend
Service-level commitments and operational responsibilities
Dependencies between seller, buyer, group functions and third parties
Beyond these areas, MNC takes on wider complex technology change wherever senior delivery leadership is what is missing.
Our work starts with the dependency.
