How we can help
Signal℠ by Bain
Signal is a powerful, flexible, cloud-based program management tool that provides unmatched visibility over every aspect of your merger or divestiture.
To capture the full value from your deal, you need more than a great work plan. Our potent, AI-powered tool helps your team track every aspect of an integration or divestiture.
Unlike standard program management tools, Signal is tailor-made for M&A activities, based on our extensive mergers and acquisitions experience. Offering six modules that support our unique decision-driven approach to merger integration, it achieves a bold ambition: less time spent tracking, more time focusing on key actions, and ultimately—a shorter lead time to program launch.
Signal’s intuitive interface reduces the need for upfront training. Additionally, it creates a single source of truth, enabling rapid collaboration within teams across organizations, as well as the ability to accelerate issue resolution, monitor progress, and manage talent movement.
Embedded with AI, Signal fast-tracks key tasks like synergy and work planning, TSA development, and team charter creation, reducing friction in deal execution.
By managing the nuts and bolts, Signal gives you back valuable time to focus on the key decisions and actions that will drive your program forward.
