M&A without Mayhem: Why Lift-and-Shift Archiving is the Fastest Path to Integration

Date: Thursday, March 26, 2026
Time: 2:00 pm ET / 1:00 pm CT
Location: Virtual

Course Summary

Mergers and acquisitions move fast, but integrating data across multiple EHRs, legacy systems, and decades of clinical archives can slow everything down. In this CIO-level conversation, we’ll break down why lift-and-shift archiving has emerged as the most effective approach for preserving clinical and operational data during M&A transitions. 

We’ll discuss real-world challenges of M&A data migration, including compliance risk, system decommissioning, patient continuity of care, and the operational impact of slow integrations. Together, we’ll explore how a strategic archiving strategy enables organizations to: 

• Move urgently and decisively during M&A 

• Preserve and protect critical historical data 

• Maintain compliance with HIPAA, state retention rules, and legal discovery 

• Avoid costly and risky refactor/rebuild approaches 

• Reduce the burden on IT and clinical operations 

• Accelerate day-one readiness and long-term integration 

We’ll deliver a blueprint to navigate data consolidation with confidence while unlocking the fastest route to realizing deal value.
