Mergers & acquisitions

You just acquired a company. Their BI is not your BI

Digital Hive creates a single analytics access layer across both organizations immediately - no migration, no rebuilding, no waiting

What actually happens

The first week after close

Two BI environments land in the same organization overnight. Both have a report called "Revenue Summary." Neither number matches. IT is in triage. Executives can't get answers. Your users can't see their content

And IT doesn't have six months to rebuild everything before the business needs to move

Why this doesn't get fixed

Three reasons this stays unresolved

  • Integration gets scoped as a migration - which takes months and leaves both sides in limbo
  • No neutral ground: one company's tools win, the other loses access until IT catches up
  • Governance can't wait, but integrating two security models across two platforms is a project on its own
What changes

How Digital Hive solves it

Four shifts. No migration required

Unified access layer - day one

Digital Hive indexes content from both environments. One search. Everything visible

Existing credentials, existing permissions

Users on both sides use their current credentials. No new provisioning. No new security model

Side-by-side reconciliation

Metric conflicts surface immediately - not in a board meeting three months later

Governance centralized, not rebuilt

Both security models inherited and enforced through one layer from day one

The impact

What the research confirms

897 apps

Average number of applications in an enterprise. An acquisition doubles that complexity overnight

MuleSoft, 2025

The average enterprise manages nearly 900 applications - with no unified view of what analytics exists across either side. Acquisitions land that problem on day one

Day three
access

Acquired-company users finding reports before the first week ends

Zero
rebuilds

Both environments connected and usable immediately - no migration required

Metric
clarity

Discrepancies visible and resolvable in weeks, not surfacing unexpectedly in board meetings
