Post-M&A Simplicity: Keeping IT Integration Fast, Flexible and Focussed

For over half a century, computing power has been an integral part of business models. Whether simply managing back-office functions or actually central to the company’s business, business needs ‘IT.’For the same half century the prevailing icon of the IT-business partnership has been a cartoon-like conflict between the two – ‘pocket-protector geeks versus polyester-suited charlatans.’ During post-merger integration (PMI) this conflict is only heightened as IT has become a critical enabler of post-deal value creation.Some firms build positive partnerships by the thoughtful integration of the two. In this podcast, Jakub Kuleczko of E.ON, David Wright of Stratygen Consulting, and Carlos Keener of BTD Consulting discuss practical approaches to using IT as a lynchpin for successful integration and delivery of benefits beyond the deal.CLICK HERE to follow us on LinkedInwww.btd.consulting
