Mergers and acquisitions

The SaaS management platform for mergers and acquisitions

You didn't just acquire a company. You acquired their technical debt and 400 messy Slack channels.

The ink is dry, the press release is out, and now the heavy lifting begins. You just inherited 500 new employees, 150 unsanctioned SaaS apps, and a thousand "Who has access to this?" emails.

Welcome to the merger. BetterCloud is your escape room key for SaaS management.

Fast track your migration

Six professionals meet in an office to discuss mergers and acquisitions, with two large software dashboards displayed digitally behind them.

“

I could not imagine now, a world where we didn’t have BetterCloud managing our environment because it just gives us that full transparency.”

— Mark Purcell, CIO at Rentokil

Why BetterCloud is your M&A command center

Most M&As are an IT scavenger hunt. We prefer a "command and control" approach.

Complete SaaS visibility and discovery

Get a bird’s eye view of the users, groups, files, channels, settings, and other data across SaaS applications so you can make data-driven decisions.

Inventory all apps: Identify every application in use, from sanctioned tools to Shadow IT.
File security audits: Scan inherited Google Drive, Microsoft 365, and Slack environments to identify public or externally shared sensitive data.
Identify redundancies: Spot overlapping licenses to immediately reduce post-merger OpEx.
Zero-day security audit: Instantly find high-risk OAuth grants and 'Super Admin' users in the acquired environment.

Automated mass onboarding and migration

Don't let manual tickets slow down "Day 1." BetterCloud’s zero-touch automation allows you to transition the entire acquired workforce at scale.

Cross-platform user provisioning: Automatically grant access to core apps (Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, Jira) based on the new organizational structure.
New instance management: Seamlessly manage multiple instances of the same app (e.g., two separate Slack Enterprise Grids) during the transition period.
Department-specific workflows: Trigger unique onboarding sequences for Finance, Engineering, or Sales in minutes, not weeks.

Seven user management tasks, each with an icon and move, copy, or delete buttons.

Unified instance management

BetterCloud simplifies corporate mergers by enabling IT teams to manage "dual worlds" through a single pane of glass that provides full visibility across multiple SaaS instances. This centralized platform streamlines the user lifecycle and eliminates context switching by maintaining a single source of truth for all legacy domains.

Ongoing user lifecycle management

M&A doesn't end on "Day 1." The weeks following a merger are defined by high churn, lateral moves, and the risky "In-Between" period where employees hold dual identities. BetterCloud automates the ongoing maintenance of your new, larger workforce so IT doesn't become a bottleneck.

Secure, multi-SaaS de-provisioning: Acquisitions often lead to restructuring. Prevent "zombie accounts" by using a single-click kill switch that revokes access across the entire SaaS stack—including legacy apps you haven't fully migrated yet.
Automated data governance: When legacy employees depart, BetterCloud automatically transfers file ownership in Google Drive or Microsoft 365, ensuring critical intellectual property stays within the new organization.
Compliance mirroring: Instantly apply your corporate security "Gold Standard" to the acquired environment. Automatically audit and remediate high-risk permissions, ensuring the new subsidiary meets your SOC2, HIPAA, or GDPR requirements from the jump.
