An honest map of the acquired estates: what each runs on, what it costs, what is worth keeping and what is duplicated.
Rationalise, migrate, unify.
Named for the graft that joins a new branch to an established rootstock. Consolidation that keeps what works and unifies the rest.
The platforms worth keeping consolidate onto one governed estate the Banyan Method, each business trading throughout.
One content model, one compliance posture, one operating model across what used to be separate companies.
The combined team runs the unified estate at the end. The endpoint is self-sufficiency, as with every engagement.
Part of one estate.
No capability stands alone. Here is where this one most often joins the rest of the work.
Parallel replatforming, the method each consolidation runs on.
Vendor-agnostic assessment of the acquired estates.
A standing senior team across the consolidated estate.
Frequently asked questions.
What is the Scion offer?
Scion is our post-acquisition consolidation pillar: rationalising, migrating and unifying the digital estates an acquisition leaves you with, onto one governed platform. It is a new pillar, with a US focus.
Can you consolidate without disrupting the acquired businesses?
Yes. Each platform worth keeping migrates in parallel, the Banyan Method, so every business keeps trading until the unified estate is load-bearing.
What about the platforms we do not want to keep?
Rationalisation decides that honestly, up front. We keep what works, retire what is duplicated, and migrate the rest onto one estate.
Is this only for US deals?
The pillar is US-focused, but the method applies to any multi-estate consolidation after an acquisition.
Make the acquisition one estate.
Rationalise, migrate and unify the platforms a deal leaves you with, onto one governed estate, without stopping any of the businesses.
