What if I am buying, selling or merging a company?

Our solution provides exceptional value for organisations undergoing mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures. Here's how Calon streamlines this critical business transition:

Accelerated Financial Visibility

• Day One Alignment: Establish unified financial metrics across both entities immediately, without waiting for complex system integrations

• Decision Support: Access consolidated performance metrics to validate acquisition assumptions and identify integration priorities

• Risk Mitigation: Quickly spot discrepancies in financial reporting methodologies between organisations

Strategic Flexibility

• Integration Planning: Make informed decisions about ERP consolidation based on actual operational data rather than assumptions

• Phased Approach: Maintain business continuity while systematically harmonizing processes and systems at your preferred pace

• Standardised Metrics: Apply the acquiring company's financial standards to the acquired entity without disrupting ongoing operations

With Calon, you gain immediate financial transparency across your newly combined organisation, allowing your integration teams to focus on strategic priorities rather than struggling with incompatible reporting systems.

Our team have supported a number of M&A transactions and understand the unique challenges of financial integration during these pivotal business transitions.

Do you have all the metrics I need to run the business and show my investors?

Absolutely. Our solution provides complete coverage of the essential metrics you need to run your business effectively:

Extensive Metric Library

• Access to our catalog of over 200 pre-defined business metrics

• Customisation to align with your specific industry and operational model

• Integration with your existing hierarchies and reference data structures

Tailored to Your Requirements

• Metrics can be refined through inclusions/ exclusions that match your business definitions

• All metrics are defined consistently across your organisation, ensuring everyone works with the same financial language

• Our system extracts and transforms all relevant data from your existing systems without requiring new data entry

Seamless Delivery Through Pulse

• All metrics are immediately available through our AI-powered dashboarding solution, Pulse

• Single source of truth for decision-making across departments

• Consistent definitions eliminate the confusion of conflicting metrics from different systems

The key advantage is that once defined, these metrics remain consistent across your entire organisation—eliminating the common problem of different departments reporting conflicting numbers for the same business concepts.

Can we use our own Snowflake account?

During setup we need accountadmin rights, so usually we would set up another account either within our organisation or within yours.

What security is in place?

We've implemented a comprehensive security architecture to protect your sensitive business data:

Infrastructure Security

• Built on top-tier enterprise infrastructure providers (AWS, Snowflake)

• Segregated database architecture with dedicated tenant spaces

• Direct Snowflake access with mandatory two-factor authentication

Access Controls

• Individual user accounts with multi-factor authentication required for all access points

• No shared credentials or generic logins permitted

• Authentication enforcement across all interfaces (dashboards, Excel/Sheets connections)

Data Isolation

• Complete tenant separation at the database or account level

• Dedicated access pathways for each client

• No co-mingling of data between different organisations

Compliance Support

• Detailed security documentation available upon request

• Assistance with regulatory compliance requirements

• Regular security assessments of our infrastructure

Our security model leverages the substantial investments made by our infrastructure partners while adding additional layers of protection specifically designed for financial and operational data.

Have you built everything yourself?

Rather than reinventing the wheel, we've strategically built Calon on leading industry platforms to deliver enterprise-grade capabilities with greater reliability and efficiency.

Our Technology Foundation

• Data Platform: Fully committed to the Snowflake Data Cloud, leveraging its world-class security, performance, and continuous innovation

• Integration Framework: Utilizing specialized connectors (Fivetran, Matillion, Airflow, Snowflake and our own APi connectors) selected for optimal performance with each source system

• Visualization Platform: Dashboards built with Streamlit on Snowflake, maintaining consistent security protocols throughout and leveraging Snowflake Cortex and Claude AI agents

• Web Infrastructure: Client-facing portals hosted on Heroku for reliability and scalability

The Calon Advantage

3. Focus Our Development: Concentrate our expertise on business logic and metrics definitions where we add unique value

5. Future-Proof Your Investment: Automatically inherit platform improvements as our technology partners evolve

By building on these enterprise foundations, we provide a solution that combines the reliability of established platforms with the flexibility of our specialized metrics expertise—a more sustainable approach than custom-built alternatives that become technology islands.
