Organisations who grow through mergers and acquisition (M&A) processes need to be laser-focused on a successful integration starting on day 0. But for many technical reasons, integrating multiple, complex systems and granting access to the right solutions for the right people is easier said than done. Multinational enterprises, such as Mars and Warner Bros. Discovery, for which M&As are a part of near-daily business, constantly navigate the technical challenges and opportunities that accompany M&A-based growth strategies. As much as technology can create barriers in M&A situations, it can also be the solution that lifts them (Read the full Mars story here). Mars has a presence in 83 countries and more than 200,000 employees. As a global brand with a highly diverse portfolio, Mars relies on a range of business processes and systems to manage their activities and employee access to them, all of which require Identity and Access.
