Mergers and acquisitions are a powerful route to growth, but ERP integration—especially for complex systems like Epicor Prophet 21 (P21)—can pose significant operational challenges. At Scaled Solutions Group, we know that bringing two ERP systems together isn’t just about technology; it’s about creating a seamless, unified process that supports your business’s goals, maximizes efficiency, and preserves the value of your acquisition.

Our in-depth guide covers the essential strategies for post-merger ERP integration, tackling everything from navigating legacy system challenges to adopting integration methods suited to different merger types. Whether you’re facing a financial reporting merger, a hybrid merger, or a fully integrated merger, our insights are tailored to help you manage the unique complexities each model brings. Here’s a quick look at how we approach each:

1. Financial Reporting Merger
   This type involves minimal system change but benefits from strategic integration to enhance reporting capabilities, enabling advanced analytics and greater operational control. Our approach ensures efficient data consolidation without disrupting current workflows.

2. Hybrid Merger
   This model, where some business functions are unified while others remain independent, requires selective ERP integration—deciding what to merge, such as sales or inventory, and what to leave as is. For hybrid mergers, we often develop a new business systems strategy to identify integration levels, costs, and timelines, tailoring ERP elements to fit the merged organization’s operational needs.
   

3. Fully Integrated Merger
   Here, the acquired company is entirely absorbed into the acquiring business, creating a clean slate for ERP integration. While this can sound complex, we often find it’s more straightforward than a hybrid approach, as it enables a fresh ERP setup across the entire organization, eliminating legacy issues altogether
