Acquired teams decide in the first weeks whether they belong. ChangeEngine runs the people side of the deal: leaders briefed before the news, a clear day-one welcome, a 100-day integration path and answers to the questions everyone's asking, in every language and on every channel. From our app, or the AI assistant you already use.

Every acquisition brings a new team that doesn't know who you are, what's changing or who to ask. Leaders are stretched, lists don't exist yet, and silence fills with rumors.
A clear plan for what to say, when and to whom, from announcement to day 100.
Bring both workforces in from either HRIS and segment by legacy company, site and role.
One look, one voice and one hub, so everyone feels like one company sooner.
A typical integration path, drafted from one prompt. Every step branches by legacy company, site, role and language.

"We're acquiring a 640-person manufacturer with three plants in Ohio and Mexico. Announce on the 3rd. Leaders first. Benefits change on Jan 1."
Examples built in ChangeEngine for our sample brand, Twincrest. One look and one voice from day one.
Who hears what, when, on both sides of the deal.
A clear picture of what changes and when.
Welcome packs for people joining a new company.
Bring the new name and look to every site.
Clear, humane guidance when the news is hard.
Reach everyone, even before the email systems merge.
Acquired teams get a hub from day one: who we are, what's changing for them, benefits, contacts and an HR agent that answers in their language. It opens from a text link, so it works before IT accounts are merged.
The ChangeEngine MCP plugs into the AI assistant your company already approved. Ask it to brief, welcome or update the acquired team, and it drafts, segments and schedules in your brand. Your roles and approvals stay in charge.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to connect to business systems.
Day 30 of the integration. Send everyone from the acquired company a 3-question pulse, in English and Spanish, and remind anyone who hasn't answered by Friday.
Done. The pulse and reminder are waiting for your approval in ChangeEngine.
From a mascot that unified culture during an acquisition to global teams across the US, Mexico and Poland.
▶Cart.com used Cosmo, its employee-created mascot, to unify culture during M&A. Driving engagement, inclusion, and faster integration across Slack and email.
▶Positive Development uses segmentation and AI inside ChangeEngine to eliminate manual HRIS work. Saving hours per comm and freeing the People team to focus on strategy.
▶GoEngineer delivered 69,000+ communications across 27 programs in under a year. Using segmentation, bilingual messaging, and automation to scale clarity and engagement.
▶Cart.com built 22+ segments across the U.S., Mexico, and Poland. Using Slack (68%), SMS (14%), and email to reach frontline and corporate teams effectively.
“You did not have the ability to just send out an email and update everybody or put up a poster and update everybody. A lot of employees were getting missed in communications.”
Names, roles, teams, locations, managers and key dates sync from your HRIS, so every audience builds itself and every program triggers on time. Nothing to export, nothing to upload.
M&A comms aren't a separate tool. They're the platform's modules working together, so every message knows who joined, from where, and what changes for them.
