Building a Strong Foundation with M&A
Mergers and acquisitions are complex undertakings for IT. They are disruptive, one-off events that can completely derail existing projects and delay innovation. Lofty business goals can stall while IT struggles to consolidate while supporting the new initiative. Delays in consolidation can lead to employees struggling with their cultural identity, financial losses and potentially business disruption.
For the business, an M&A activity can be a long-term windfall of profit, but it all starts with IT. Systems and technology run the business and empower employees. Migrating to a single platform is the key to obtaining those efficiencies that made the activity so appealing to the business in the first place.
At the ground level, this starts with Microsoft technologies and specifically identities. Consolidation of identities between the two organizations is the strong foundation upon which everything is built. It allows for a singular cultural identity and eases IT management. These basic functions enable a singular, strong company to move forward, ultimately proving the value of the M&A.
