| Tackling the technology challenges of mining mergers and acquisitions |
|
 Mergers and acquisitions are par for the course in the mining industry, and historically there has always been a lot of movement in this sector. This trend has accelerated in recent years, with larger companies divesting their interests and selling off, while new players enter the market. The upshot of this, from a technology perspective, is a hugely complex environment devoid of a clear view across the organisation. Licensing transfer, software and hardware incompatibilities are common challenges.
“Many of the mines own their own datacentres and infrastructure which could be legacy hardware with outdated warranties and maintenance. Agreement structures between the newly acquired mine and the holding group may differ, perpetual license agreements may not align and renewal dates could be out of sync.” says Gerhard Olivier, Solutions Consulting Manager at First Technology National.
