● DOMAIN 4 — ENTERPRISE TRANSFORMATION

M&A Integration.
One Governed View.

Every PE acquisition inherits a fragmented stack — a different ERP, CRM, support platform, self-service portal, and client success tool. Arka AI collapses them into a single governed data layer with a live Customer 360 — from Day 1 of close, without a $3M systems integrator.

The M&A Integration Problem

Every Acquisition Inherits the Same Mess

PE operating partners see it every time: five systems, five data models, no single view of the client. The integration project takes 18 months and costs more than the synergy it creates.

18mo
Average time to a unified client view after acquisition
5–7
Disconnected systems inherited per typical PortCo
$2–4M
Systems integrator cost for traditional consolidation

Typical post-acquisition state — all disconnected

ERP
(e.g. NetSuite, SAP)
CRM
(e.g. Salesforce, HubSpot)
Support
(e.g. Zendesk, Jira)
Self-Service
(Portal / App)
Client Success
(e.g. Gainsight, Totango)

No shared client ID. No single truth. Manual reconciliation. Missed signals.

The Arka AI Approach

Integration Without the Integration Project

Arka AI's adapter framework reads from every system without requiring rearchitecting any of them. It builds a live, governed canonical client record — and keeps it current every cycle.

Zero-Touch Data Ingestion

Pre-built adapters connect to ERP, CRM, Support, Self-Service, and CS platforms in days — not months. Read-only by default. No schema changes to source systems.

🔗

Canonical Client Identity Resolution

Arka AI resolves client identities across all five system types into a single canonical ID — even when field names, formats, and IDs differ across legacy systems.

📊

Live Customer 360

A continuously updated, governed client record — contract value, open tickets, product usage, health score, expansion signals, billing status — all in one place.

🛡️

9-Gate Governed Mutations

Any write-back to source systems — updating a CRM record, triggering a support workflow, provisioning access — passes through the full ActionGateway with OPA policy validation and HITL where required.

📋

Evidence-Backed Integration Audit

Every data merge, transformation, and write is logged as a sealed evidence event. PE due diligence teams get a complete, tamper-evident record of the integration state.

🔄

PE Portfolio Multiplier

Once configured for one PortCo, the transformation blueprint redeploys to the next acquisition in days. Same platform, new adapter credentials. Compound leverage across every deal.

PE Acquisition Timeline

Integration from Day 1 of Close

Day 1–30
Connect & Discover

Deploy read-only adapters across all inherited systems. Inventory client records, identify duplicates, map field relationships. First Customer 360 snapshot within 2 weeks.

Day 30–60
Resolve & Unify

Run canonical identity resolution across ERP, CRM, Support, and Self-Service. Merge duplicate records. Establish the single governed client ID. Activate live sync cadence.

Day 60–90
Activate Intelligence

Customer 360 goes live for sales, support, and CS teams. Health scoring, churn signals, and expansion detection begin running on the unified record. HITL workflows for exception handling.

Ongoing
Always-On Governed Operations

Continuous reconciliation, health scoring, and evidence sealing across all systems — every cycle. When the next acquisition closes, the blueprint redeploys in days with new adapter credentials.
