Background
Heitmeyer was initially hired to deploy functional and technical SMEs to support Hogan development. We embedded experts supporting development and testing with several consultants staying on full time as contract-to-hire, an option typically unavailable with traditional consulting firms.
As our partnership deepened, we understood that the client’s needs went beyond Hogan support. Their goals required overall modernization of a variety of platforms and integration support of a recent acquisition. We presented consulting solutions with a specific focus on a M&A and Transformation practices. Our client appreciated our ability to lead and support larger initiatives and the ability to augment teams for execution, all under one roof.
Outcome
What began as an agreement for staff augmentation expanded to a long-term engagement involving our full suite of services. While the client approached with the original need for Hogan development augmentation, both sides realized that this was just the tip of the iceberg. The real opportunity was a need for overall company transformation to be better prepared for expansion and enhanced customer experience. Needing the ability to be agile with acquisitions and efficient with integration. This would have been impossible without developing a deep understanding of the client’s business and specific needs.
Mergers and Acquistions Support
Our approach began with the deployment of specialized resources for technical development and oversight. This expanded into increased governance over multiple major initiatives, headed by our executive team of banking professionals with decades of financial services experience. Heitmeyer not only helped advise on the roadmap for success, but directly executed it. Our services came at a reduced cost when compared to major firms, and we were able to handle most facets of the projects instead of forcing the client to split tasks between third parties.
