ARLINGTON, Va.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--For M&A professionals in post-merger integration and
corporate development, eknow inc today announced a major mid-cycle update of the eknow Integrator software, to
version 11.5.
Developed since 1999, eknow Integrator is the most mature, easy-to-use web-based tool for executing M&A,
corporate reorganizations and divestitures. With version 11.5, Integrator puts even more distance between itself and
the alternatives. Version 11.5 is the largest Integrator update since 2009, adding significant new functionality and raw
performance while incrementally improving ease of use for every category of Integrator user.
What's New in Integrator 11.5:
l Raw speed in large queries: Integrator 11.5 accelerates the most complex program office report queries by
approximately 8X.
l More drill-down metrics: All applicable views now display "apples-to-apples" progress metrics, rolled up
by activity type, sub-team, team, M&A phase, and acquisition. Instantly identify any deviation at the top level
and drill down to its source in seconds.
l New financial impact views: Integrator 11.5 adds alternative new roll-up views of total synergy component
costs and benefits by team, acquisition, and time period.
l New flexible dates feature: Many plan dates are crude estimates or simply unknowable until months into
the effort. Users therefore enter bogus dates or none at all. Unique to Integrator 11.5 is a third, more flexible
option that streamlines date entry, eliminates constant date revision, and improves date reliability.
l Dependent date features: Integrator 11.5 allows tasks to be dependent not only on other selected tasks,
but on any relevant date field in Integrator (e.g., Acquisition Close Date).
l Redesigned activity timeline: Integrator's timeline view has been completely revised, reformatted and
expanded. Timeline
