We initially advised Drax on the acquisition strategy and Transition Service Agreement (TSA), validating and recommending additions to the proposed approach, with a specific focus on IT and developed the TSA framework.
We then led the IT cut-over phase, working within a very tight timeline, as it was essential that all assets were cut-over on a date set by UK regulator OFGEM, to protect competition rules. Our team successfully completed the initial due diligence and achieved the cut-over from Scottish Power’s critical systems to the Drax systems within 10 weeks.
Due to the success in cutting-over all trading sites on schedule, we were retained to manage the full IT transition and integration, with an aspiration to exit the TSA within 12 months.
