LifeStance Health

IT integration engine for a 25+ acquisition growth program

The Problem

LifeStance Health completed more than 25 acquisitions in roughly three years on its way toward the public markets. Each deal arrived with its own systems, security posture, vendors, and technical debt — without a disciplined integration model, that pace of growth risked turning into unmanaged technology sprawl at the exact moment the company needed stronger governance and control.

The Solution

What LifeStance Health got.

Tankoh built a repeatable M&A technology integration framework — Assess, Secure, Integrate, Standardize, Scale — spanning pre-close technology due diligence, Day-1 readiness, and a phased playbook from first 30 days through long-term consolidation. Cybersecurity and identity were treated as core acquisition workstreams rather than follow-on projects, while governance, change management, and access controls were built out to public-company standards.

Outcome

25+ acquisitions integrated on one repeatable methodology, with infrastructure, applications, and identity progressively standardized across the expanded enterprise. Cybersecurity, IT governance, and audit readiness were strengthened company-wide, giving LifeStance a technology operating model built to support its transition to the public markets.
