Post-merger Integration (PMI): IT Integration Framework (PowerPoint PPT)

After a merger, the Post-Merger Integration (PMI) process is critical to ensure the success of the newly formed organization. In many cases, the integration of the IT function provides the foundation and backbone to a successful PMI. IT plays a critical role in creating a smooth transition within the newly merged organization—delivering quick, reliable value.

IT brings tremendous benefits in both the short- and long-term, by enabling business synergies, providing business continuity, and creating cost savings. This presentation first discusses these benefits brought from IT, followed by the sources of IT savings and their potential.
