Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers & Acquisitions

Prepare Yourself for Achievement

Storata will assist you in seamlessly integrating your IT systems, making the complex process easier to manage.

Market Intelligence

Combining companies can pose substantial technology challenges. The existence of complex and proprietary systems complicates the integration of various technology infrastructures, often resulting in lengthy processes and failures due to incompatibilities.

Unfortunately, many attempts to unify IT systems fail to achieve their intended outcomes within five years, leading to significant disruptions for employees and affecting customer experiences.

Storata is your ideal partner for technology integration. While you focus on the logistics of merging two organisations, we ensure that your technology framework remains secure. Our approach guarantees a smooth integration process, minimising disruption for teams in both entities.

If we view ‘data as the new gold,’ then monitoring platforms are the critical tools that enable your organization to tap into this valuable resource. For IT teams that have implemented these solutions, demonstrating their effectiveness is vital. The encouraging news is that these tools can deliver substantial Return on Investment (ROI)—the secret is knowing how to harness their full potential. At Storata, we’re committed to helping you unlock that value

  • According to a Forrester Consulting report on the Total Economic Impact (TEI) of the Dynatrace® platform, automatic and intelligent observability can provide a 274% return on investment over three years, with other benefits such as faster software innovation, continuously improved user experiences, and increased operational efficiency.
  • Research from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), in partnership with Splunk > Global Research Survey confirms this, finding organisations with mature data strategies can dramatically improve bottom-line outcomes.
To enhance the value of your monitoring tools and achieve quality ROI improvements, consider engaging accredited professionals like Storata Consulting. They can evaluate your current tool usage and pinpoint areas for improvement, ensuring you maximize your investment.

Our Strategy for ROI Enhancements

At Storata, we’ve recognized that many organizations utilize their application and security monitoring and observability tools as standalone solutions to address specific challenges. However, to achieve a greater return on investment, it’s crucial to leverage the same data for multiple use cases within your organization. Our Monitoring team can support you in identifying key areas for advancement by prioritizing the most impactful elements for your business—whether that includes clients, employees, or partners.

We always start with the use case at Storata. Our team will assist you in uncovering new monitoring and security use cases that can be met using your existing data and tools. We’ll plan and rank these use cases based on your business objectives and create a timeline with clear milestones, ensuring we deliver an improved ROI with confidence.

Here are some of the challenges we will evaluate to guarantee ROI:

At Storata, we are dedicated to utilizing high-value use cases, with a strong focus on cybersecurity and governance, ensuring their effective application across all monitored systems.
We evaluate whether your platforms are connected to other essential business systems and ensure that these integrations are consistently maintained.
We verify that you are adhering to industry best practices by utilizing the expertise of our certified professionals.
We prioritize staying informed about the latest updates and features. By keeping all monitoring platforms current, we enable you to make the most of any new capabilities.
We believe that your monitoring platform should address multiple business challenges. If it only tackles a single issue, you may not be realizing its full value. We help you leverage onboarded data to support various use cases effectively.

At Storata, our ROI Improvement Services concentrate on essential business domains, such as IT operations and security, to enhance overall performance and value.
