In 2004, Oracle prepared to acquire Peoplesoft. At over $10 billion, it was the largest M&A within the software industry. Learn how Oracle's VP of Real Estate worked with Equis to develop a detailed M&A tool kit that lifted a significant burden from the CFO by bringing critical data and process to the table.
Through this collaboration, Oracle saved costs and accurately scaled the diligence effort by leveraging institutional knowledge and internal resources rather than relying on a consultant. The M&A team accepted CRE's analysis and reserve number recommendation, which one year after the merger stood within 5% of the original recommendation.
