Vendor and contract spend,Through the Dealon one governed operating model
CASt embeds with deal teams and operating companies to govern vendor, contract, and architecture decisions across acquirer plus target entities, on integrations and carve-outs alike. GL-validated baselines, renewal exposure, consolidation candidates, and net Y1 savings, in a working platform, not a slide deck.
Multi-entity
Acquirer plus all targets in one view
GL-validated
Reconciled against actual financial data
Per-vertical
Pre-built compliance lenses
Capabilities
Built for diligence, integration, and ongoing governance.
Six capabilities that move the M&A vendor conversation off slides and into a working platform.
Spend Baselining
GL-validated spend rolled up across acquirer plus targets with vendor name normalization and contract matching. Variance highlighted by entity, category, and vendor.
Contract and Renewal Governance
Renewal cliff visualization by quarter, auto-renew flags, notice windows, and contract status. BAA and coverage gaps surfaced at the deal level.
Architecture and Consolidation
Function-by-function platform analysis with migration complexity ratings and consolidation candidates ranked by net Y1 value.
Net Savings, Not Gross
Every consolidation opportunity sized with gross savings, migration cost, operational impact, and net first-year value. Realistic numbers for the deal model.
Compliance as a First-Class View
Vertical-specific regulatory frameworks baked into the data model. Critical and warning flags with vendor-level remediation guidance.
Long-Tail Vendor Visibility
Cumulative concentration curves surface the 100 to 300 vendor tail where hidden risk and uncontested renewals live.
Separation is a vendor problem on a deadline.
When a unit exits the parent, every shared contract has to land somewhere before TSA exit: assigned, renegotiated, or replaced. CASt runs the separation on the same platform: what the NewCo keeps, what it stands up, and where stranded spend hides.
- Contract-by-contract separation ledger: assign, renegotiate, or replace
- Day-1 vendor readiness mapped to the TSA exit schedule
- Stranded cost and dis-synergy sized before they hit the NewCo budget
