Rapidly analyze overlapping customer bases when evaluating acquisitions to address government mandates on Restraint of Trade
Accurately identifying overlap between customer databases to address restraint of trade issues which may be inherent in an acquisition is a key function in meeting the U.S. Department of Justice and European Monopolies Commission divestiture requirements. Determining customer locations and analyzing the shared market areas created by the acquisition can be time-consuming and costly, reducing the project’s ROI. Fortunately, ISI has the requisite experience from past engagements to rapidly perform this analysis.
The ISI Synchronos™ platform simplifies the process by consolidating the two organizations’ databases into a customer-centric data warehouse with all the application data attached, facilitating analysis of the acquisition’s impact on customers’ options. It can append rooftop-precise latitude and longitude data to the customers’ homes as well as to the organization’s branches, enabling the calculation of distances and reassignment of customers to the nearest branch. The latitude and longitude data can also be used to create visual displays of the geographical impact of the acquisition, making it easier to determine an appropriate divestiture plan proposal, if required by the Department of Justice or other governing agency.
