A New Approach to M&A Onboarding
Rather than shipping laptops or provisioning expensive VDI, The Island Enterprise Browser dramatically simplifies M&A onboarding by giving employees simple, secure access on day one.
How it works
On day one, employees launch the Island Browser and login with their new credentials. They’re immediately greeted with a personalized message welcoming them to their new company as well as direct links to the key applications needed to complete their onboarding process. From that point on, Island is their workspace for accessing critical applications and resources. As a browser, the experience is intuitive and familiar. Internal applications are easily accessed, without the need to juggle VPN client connections.
Simplicity of deployment
Island is easily deployed to existing endpoints using common management tools. If such tools are not available, users can download Island and self-install in minutes. By contrast, provisioning and shipping laptops or deploying virtual desktops is a higher cost in both dollars and time.
Application access
In preparation for day one, IT teams can configure Island to make important applications available to the users based on their role, location, or other criteria. Most applications will use single sign-on from an IDP, but Island offers flexibility with integrated privileged access management and enterprise password manager for applications that aren’t SSO enabled.

Network connectivity
For organizations that use privately hosted applications, network access is a critical component for day-one access. Island offers integrated ZTNA to securely connect to internal networks without the need for VPN. Along with application access, IT teams can configure the network access ahead of time so there’s no friction on day one.

Adoption metrics
By using Island for onboarding, M&A teams gain real-time metrics to gauge adoption. As users login to Island on day one, dashboards in the Island Management Console track usage by group or location. This is particularly valuable for distributed organizations and offers fast feedback to identify and resolve any issues in onboarding.

Future M&A
Once an organization sets up its Island environment for M&A onboarding, it is well-prepared for any future M&A event. The IT teams can adjust their application access and network connectivity rules (if required), then repeat the same playbook for day one onboarding. For those organizations with frequent M&A transactions, this represents a meaningful opportunity to improve operational efficiency.
Divestitures
Island can also play a role in divestiture transactions, essentially running the onboarding playbook in reverse. During the transition phase, when employees require access to both organizations, Island creates the unified access point. As the IT teams work to separate the networks and applications, they update the access policies and network connectivity configurations in Island to gracefully transition business workflows.
