Carve-out management: challenges and solutions
In contrast to post-merger integration (PMI), where both companies work towards joint synergies, carve-outs often face conflicts of interest between the parent company and the divested business unit. These conflicts can complicate the successful execution of a carve-out, necessitating meticulous planning and execution to ensure the long-term success of both parties.

In comparison to post-merger integration (PMI), where both companies pursue a common goal, carve-outs often face conflicts of interest between the parent company and the divested business unit. These conflicts arise from the need to allocate resources, systems, and processes. AdEx supports this separation process as an independent partner, ensuring the continuity of ongoing business operations and maximizing the value of the remaining units.
Management
After deciding to carve out or sell a business unit, it is crucial to execute the carve-out process successfully. AdEx analyzes and manages all aspects of the carve-out, both in the primary and supporting business areas. We offer comprehensive management for the entire carve-out or specific sub-projects. Particularly in IT carve-outs, which often involve unexpected costs and efforts, we place great importance on careful planning and the implementation of Transactional Service Agreements (TSA) to complete these on time or ideally earlier.
Transformation
After the separation process, a transformation of the affected business units on both sides of the transaction is often necessary. AdEx supports this ongoing process and leads your transformation to success.
Our approach aims to avoid the typical pitfalls of an IT carve-out through careful pre-planning and solution-oriented implementation. This protects our clients from unexpected costs and enables efficient and effective divestment.”

The PMI/harmonization of business processes (ERP template) involves integrating multiple historically acquired companies into the global business process framework. AdEx Partners led the definition of the global SAP templates for all business areas, including procurement, sales, production, and logistics. This template was implemented worldwide in the ERP and Salesforce.com backbone. Additionally, the new IT service management based on ITIL was defined to ensure efficient and standardized IT service delivery.
