Connected Capital Technologies

Explore an integrated suite of technologies that bring deeper analysis and faster insights to enable better decision-making around your capital and transaction strategies through to execution. Welcome to the future of M&A.

Dealmaking in a big data world

M&A is a complex, challenging combination of the right capital and transaction strategy and effective deal execution to drive value. Getting it right could mean staying ahead of your competition. Get it wrong and you may fall behind.

The reality is that our increasingly data-saturated world is making getting it right harder still. The future of dealmaking means significantly more information needs to be captured, processed, analyzed and interpreted than ever before. Traditional means are no longer effective in delivering a competitive edge.

To unlock the power of this data, we are developing purpose-built M&A technologies and applications. We call them Connected Capital Technologies. Powered by leading technology including AI, automation and advanced analytics, the Connected Capital Technologies are tailored solutions that address the challenges of M&A, from origination to integration. They can be deployed either as an end-to-end suite or as individual applications.

Fueled by data. Powered by technology. Driven by people.

From growth strategy and portfolio reshaping to M&A, divestiture, post-merger integration and restructuring, the Connected Capital Technologies process massive volumes of internal and external structured and unstructured data. They enable EY professionals to help deliver actionable insights, at a faster pace and deeper level than before. The result can help you make better fact-based decisions to realize your M&A growth ambitions, to enable you to stay ahead. The Connected Capital Technologies span a range of applications, and here you can read more about our flagship investments.

  • Natural language processing applications in M&A tax

    Merger and acquisition activity has taxation implications.

    Managing this landscape means handling multiple deliverables from many jurisdictions worldwide. EY teams use specialized process automation applications to improve the quality and consistency of these deliverables through codifying our due diligence process and the part-automation of reports. This means EY professionals can continue doing what they do best ― providing better and more commercial insights and high-value transaction tax consultation.
