Within two and a half months, the company needed to establish standalone global operations, implement a new enterprise resource planning system, launch a new brand and stand up payroll and benefits functions worldwide, all while maintaining business continuity and minimizing disruption for employees and customers.
FTI Consulting was engaged to provide strategic leadership and hands-on execution, embedding experienced operators across critical functions to build the standalone capabilities, systems and infrastructure needed for Day 1 operations.
In just 10 weeks, the client became a fully operational standalone company, achieving a successful close and launching a new brand with uninterrupted operations from Day 1.
Core functions across HR and HR information systems, payroll, benefits, enterprise resource planning, and finance and accounting were stood up pre-close, enabling operational continuity and minimizing reliance on Transition Services Agreements (“TSAs”) post-close.
The new company brand was launched at close through a coordinated internal and external rollout, reinforcing market positioning from Day 1.
The senior leadership team, including the chief administrative officer, chief technology officer and business unit heads, was fully onboarded by Day 1.
Our experts conducted a detailed assessment of people, processes and systems to define Day 1 requirements and shape the scope of the TSAs.
The team selected and implemented key standalone systems, such as enterprise resource planning, travel and expense, and HR platforms, to enable full operational independence.
Our corporate finance experts established a new legal entity and business operations in India, launched the new brand on Day 1 and executed a communications strategy to support internal and external stakeholders.
Post-close, FTI Consulting supported the newly independent business by stabilizing standalone operations and planning and executing TSA exits across key functions while continuing to serve as the TMO.
