Free trial

Explore a fully worked project before you set up your own

Your trial opens on a sample project that is already underway, with workstreams, risks, decisions and a Steerco pack. Choose a deal, a transformation or a cloud migration. You can look around for two minutes or two weeks, and run one project of your own when you're ready.

What happens when the trial ends

  1. Days 1 to 14

    Full trial

    Everything above. We'll email you three days before it ends.

  2. Days 15 to 44

    Read-only

    You can still sign in and see everything, but you can't make changes. Choose a plan at any point and carry on where you left off.

  3. Day 45

    Account paused

    Sign-in stops. Your work is kept for 30 more days. Choose a plan in that time to pick up where you left off.

  4. Day 75

    Deleted

    Your work is permanently deleted, in line with our data retention policy.

We never charge you automatically. No card is taken for the trial, so nothing can be billed until you choose a plan yourself.

Your first fifteen minutes

  1. Open the Integration sample

    It's on your dashboard when you sign in.

  2. Read the dashboard

    Where the programme stands, what's late, and what needs a decision this week.

  3. Ask the assistant

    Try "What are the top three risks to Day 100?" It answers from the project's own data.

  4. Start your own project

    When you're ready, set up your deal from the Projects page.

Ideas to try

Ways of working to try in your first week, on your own project or the samples. Each takes a few minutes. Choose who you are and we'll put the most relevant six first.

The six we'd try first

AI Power BuildYour own project

Build your own project from a short brief

  1. Start your one project and describe the deal or programme in a paragraph.
  2. AI Power Build drafts the strategic direction, charters and a dated work plan.
  3. Review it, keep what fits and change what doesn't.
Your AI assistantIntegration sample

Draft your investor update from live project data

  1. Connect Claude Desktop, or any MCP client, to your Atlantic account.
  2. Ask it to read the Integration sample's work plan, RAID log and recent meetings.
  3. Give it an investor update you already use and ask it to draft this quarter's update in that format.

With a plan, your assistant can also fetch the Steering Committee pack as a PowerPoint for you to download.

StakeholdersAtlantic Intelligence

Get ready for a Steerco in two minutes

  1. You're about to walk into the Steering Committee. Open Stakeholders.
  2. Pick a member and read their briefing: what they care about, what's changed, and how to approach them.
  3. Or ask Atlantic Intelligence: Has anything changed for the Steerco members since the last meeting?
VoiceAny sample

Ask the project out loud

  1. Tap the microphone in your browser.
  2. Ask What is overdue in Finance? or Which risks have no owner?
  3. Hear the answer, taken from the work plan and RAID log.
RAIDAny sample

Find what needs a decision this week

  1. Open the RAID log on any sample.
  2. Ask the assistant Which high risks have overdue mitigating actions?
  3. Follow each answer back to the risk, its owner and its due date.
Work planAny sample

Walk the Walls

Find the critical path across every function.

  1. Open a sample's work plan and choose the All view.
  2. Switch on AI. It reads every function's plan and marks what is on the critical path and what is waiting on other teams.
  3. Pick a section within a function to see the tasks behind it and which workstreams depend on them.
More ideas (16)

Build the plan live on your next sales call

Paste in a client's brief and let AI Power Build draft the plan, so you can rehearse presenting it as your proposal.

Bring the RAID log up to date

Choose Update Existing Log and AI searches the project for changes to existing items. Then choose Suggest New Items to find ones the log is missing. Review, edit and accept each one.

Take a task a level deeper

Pick a task and choose Add depth with AI. It drafts the steps as suggestions. Review, edit, then accept or dismiss each one.

Compare your practice projects from Claude Desktop

Ask Which of my sample projects has the most open high risks? It reads every sample through the connector.

Check value delivered against the deal caseBETA

On Halligan & Petersen, follow the deal value bridge from plan to delivered.

Track synergies quarter by quarter

See underwritten against delivered synergies, line by line and by workstream.

Rehearse a TSA exit

On the buy-side sample, see each service's exit date and what still blocks it.

Run culture alongside the plan

On Northbridge Group, see leadership alignment, communications and adoption alongside the operational work.

Look at the meeting rhythm

Open Cadence Centre to see each forum, who attends and which pack goes to them.

Score the programme

Open the Balanced Scorecard. Internal Process fills itself from the work plan.

Watch the feature films

Open the Library and watch short demos of what a project can do, then try the same thing on a sample.

Read how integration got here

In the Library, open the free PMI Mastery Whitepaper for our human-centric approach to integration. Read the section on how PMI has developed over the decades, and why we think Atlantic is the future of integration, delivered now.

Learn from 34 Deal Value case studies

In the Library, open Case Studies and review 34 real private-equity deals to see how they made money through operational and financial improvements together. Open the LBO model, change the levers, download it to Excel, and think about how you would use it on your next deal.

Track an earnout from start to payoutBETA

Open the Earnout Ledger on the Integration sandbox and see how you could track the earnout on your next deal.

  • Every figure carries its source, who entered it and when
  • Track P&L lines, synergies and KPIs against the targets in the agreement
  • Corrections keep the original and the reason for the change
  • Each period is closed and locked, with a record of who closed it
  • Payout is shown per the formula as entered; the agreement governs

Work with projects across their life

Projects don't end at Day 100. You can:

  • Archive a finished project, so it stays on record but out of the way
  • Make it a template for your next acquisition, so the next deal starts from what worked
  • Copy a project into a new one from the project list, or start a new project from a sample in New Project
  • Transfer a project to your client's own Atlantic account at hand-over

Run a cross-border deal in each team's language

On a cross-border deal, the buyer, the acquired business and the sponsor rarely share a first language. When a local team works in a second language, updates get thinner and concerns surface late. Each person can use Atlantic in their own language, from 15, whilst everyone works on the same plan, RAID log and Steerco pack. Try it: change your language in account settings and open the Integration sample.
