Mergers and Acquisitions in the Drupal World - Sharing the iKOS / Inviqa Experience

ikos

In February 2015, iKOS, a UK based Digital Agency specialising in Drupal, became part of the Inviqa Group. Inviqa are Enterprise PHP specialists working particularly with Symfony and Magento.

Most mergers fail so why do it?

In this session I'll be sharing our experience of combining two companies.

In particular:

  • Handling 10x growth overnight
  • Understanding a new team - and combining cultures
  • Adapting to work outside of the Drupal bubble
  • Working with multi-office and pan-European teams
  • Changing project scales
  • Making best use of "bench" time
  • The Pros and Cons - and what we've learned.
  • Managing at a larger scale
