The Guidance Desk is your on-line connection to over 1000 tools and templates  as well as expert advisors dedicated to integration success. Time tested  and available when you need us.
In the current world of M&A Integration, tasks are tracked in spreadsheets.  Communication is done by email, phone and expensive update meetings.  Critical documents are kept in various repositories and often throughout the organization on individual laptops and P.C.’s.  Aggregation and reporting of critical data is difficult and the security risks are great.

Instead, imagine a world in which the entire integration plan, all actions, documents and metrics are instantly available and actionable.  And, imagine that the vast majority of users require little or no training and that these same users will have their tasks delivered directly by secure email to update status and make changes.  Additionally, if participants prefer to continue using spreadsheets, they can upload and download to the Cockpit.

This intuitive software tool is celebrated for enabling collaborative workflow, complete document management and transparency into all actions, issues and metrics of the integration no matter the size and complexity. 

The M&A Cockpit enables you to track progress, make midcourse corrections, coordinate actions, and achieve savings and revenue improvements quicker and with less pain. It streamlines the entire integration process from the identification of synergies to their realization. 

No other integration software system will provide a clearer window into how your integration is proceeding.

Hosted and fully deployable in 2 weeks.  Including integration specific tools and templates.

The M&A Cockpit along with our model and methodology are endorsed by some of the worlds best authorities and consulting firms. See Forrester Research
