Oyster IMS has developed an M&A information management assessment programme for Uniphar Group, a leading Irish pharmaceutical specialist.
Uniphar is a global partner to pharma and medtech manufacturers, headquartered in Dublin with an annual turnover exceeding €2Bn.
Part of Uniphar’s continued growth strategy has been achieved through an ongoing series of acquisitions, whereby multiple new businesses each year have been acquired and integrated into the Uniphar business to a greater or lesser extent.
While Uniphar undertook appropriate due diligence processes, they became increasingly aware of the risks associated with the integration of varied information management landscapes into Uniphar’s processes and infrastructure.
This case study describes the challenges Uniphar faced, and Oyster IMS’ approach to building a more effective assessment framework for acquisitions, in which we also provided ISO27001 support from assessment to help on their certification journey.
