# Integrating a Newly Acquired Manufacturing Business

Elevance integrated a newly acquired manufacturing business into a UK PLC group, migrating identity, email and workloads while protecting daily operations.

**Sector:** Large UK PLC  |  **Scale:** Post-acquisition integration

**The challenge**

A newly acquired specialist business remained dependent on separate servers, devices, identity, email, security and support arrangements. That increased risk and cost, and added friction for colleagues.

**The Elevance approach**

Elevance designed and coordinated a phased integration into the parent group, covering technology, service transition and colleague adoption while protecting day-to-day operations.

**What we delivered**

- Assessed applications, infrastructure, data and dependencies
- Migrated identity, email, collaboration and file services
- Moved workloads to resilient group infrastructure
- Introduced secure remote access and modern endpoint controls
- Planned legacy equipment retirement, data archiving and handover

**Business outcomes**

- Faster integration into the wider group
- Improved security and operational resilience
- Simplified support and supplier management
- A consistent colleague experience and collaboration
- A clear roadmap for replacing specialist legacy applications
