The divestiture is happening. Your business unit is going to be independent. But your infrastructure is woven through the parent company. You need to separate network, security, data, identity. You need to renegotiate vendor contracts that covered the whole company and now need to cover your unit.
You need to do it on the deal timeline, not on the realistic timeline.
Vendors see a business unit separating and see two things: a weakened negotiating position and a time-pressured buyer. That combination is exactly what they're designed to exploit.
They push consolidation, offer fast-commit discounts, and extract higher per-unit costs because you're now a smaller customer negotiating alone.
The deal timeline is fixed. IT separation isn't. You can't flip a switch on network, security, data, and identity. So you either over-invest in infrastructure you don't need yet — or separate without the controls you need and inherit the risk.
Every vendor you talk to has a preferred answer to that contradiction. None of them had your interests in mind when they wrote it.
Infrastructure separation is a project, not a transaction. It's not something you solve by buying a vendor's "separation package." It's something you solve by understanding what you actually need, what you can share with the parent company, and what you need to stand up independently.
The carve-out is an opportunity to build infrastructure optimized for your business, not inherited from the parent company structure.
With ITBroker.com, you have independent representation. We work with 967 providers. Our commission is the same regardless of which vendor you choose. That means no incentive to push expensive separation packages or to keep you dependent on the parent company longer than necessary.
When you're separating, you need a partner who's equally committed to getting you independent cleanly and building infrastructure that serves your business. That's what independent representation means.
Infrastructure separation is more art than science.
No pitch. No prep. Just answers about your separation timeline and what's at stake.
