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

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.

Additional topics covered by this framework include:
