DESCRIPTION
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.

This comprehensive framework delves into the critical role IT plays in post-merger integration, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right approach for IT integration. It outlines five primary approaches: Loosely Coupled, Select One, Best of Breed, Replace All, and Outsource. Each approach is tailored to different merger scenarios, ensuring that IT systems align with the strategic goals of the newly formed organization. By choosing the appropriate approach, organizations can streamline operations, reduce redundancies, and maximize synergies.
The PPT also provides a detailed five-phase IT integration approach developed by A.T. Kearney. This approach includes launching day 1 activities, evaluating integration approaches, enabling organizational synergies, designing the future state IT function, and developing the IT roadmap. Each phase is designed to mitigate risks, realize cost savings, and reduce the typical turmoil associated with the PMI process. This structured methodology ensures a seamless transition, enabling the new organization to quickly achieve its strategic objectives.
