AN IT MANAGER’S GUIDE TO M&A PLANNING

There are three forms of IT integration that are critical during an M&A: systems integration, application integration, and data integration. Systems integration involves bringing together all IT systems between the two companies for inventory of IT assets, portfolio management, ownership, dependencies, depreciation and maintenance. This is not a simple task accomplished in a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet, but one requiring inputs from various stakeholders and visibility across the organization to provide a fair assessment and an actionable strategy. The output of this exercise may also result in using a common platform, such as consolidated data centers or a private cloud infrastructure.
