Execute Seamless IT Transition During Large Acquisition
A Diversified Financial Services Company (DFSC) operating in the eastern half of the United States announced plans to acquire two banking systems in the South with $7+ billion in assets and over 120 branches.
DFSC turned to MCPc with these business priorities:

DFSC turned to MCPc with these IT priorities:
- Utilize a deployment crew across 120 branches
- Employ an onsite pre-conversion testing team
- Assist in troubleshooting network issues as feet on the street in the weeks prior to conversion
- Station an immediate response team across the state during conversion weekend
- Support clean up post-conversion
