Abstract

In the rush to complete a merger, the problem of merging two different IT systems often gets short shrift.
Applications software, operations, and methodologies are particularly important to consider. Merging two companies
will produce endless problems if their software isn't compatible. The author shows how to avoid that
nightmare. What factors should you consider? How can you steer clear of common mistakes?
