Post-merger, people at both organizations need to communicate, access shared systems, and collaborate immediately. RLM designs and deploys the site connectivity strategy that bridges both networks quickly and securely while the longer-term WAN integration is planned and executed.
RLM provides independent, vendor-neutral advisory that gives deal teams and integration leaders the technology clarity they need to make informed decisions and execute with confidence.
We catalog every office, branch, warehouse, retail location, and remote site across both organizations — documenting current connectivity, bandwidth, and the business-critical applications accessed from each location.
We deploy interim connectivity solutions — site-to-site VPNs, SD-WAN overlays, or cloud-based interconnection — that enable cross-organizational communication within days rather than waiting months for full network integration.
We design the access model for shared applications — ERP, CRM, collaboration tools, and file shares — ensuring employees at both organizations can access the systems they need through secure, performant connections from any location.
We assess bandwidth requirements at each site based on combined application demands and collaboration patterns — identifying locations that need upgrades and designing the capacity plan that supports post-merger work patterns.
We implement security controls for cross-organizational traffic — network segmentation, identity-based access, encrypted tunnels, and the monitoring that protects both organizations while their networks are bridged during integration.
We design the permanent site connectivity model — unified SD-WAN fabric, consolidated carrier strategy, and the network topology that serves the combined organization's locations, applications, and performance requirements.
Start with a no-cost connectivity assessment — we'll map every site and design the interconnection strategy for Day One and beyond.
