IT's role in the M&A process
Methods for blending systems can make--or break--an acquisition
This webcast is available on demand. Register today and watch at your convenience through July 30, 2009.
The primary reason for executing mergers, according to a recent survey commissioned by enterprise software supplier SAP, is to gain market share by having a broader selection of products to offer customers.
Thus while perpetual mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are becoming a way of life for growth companies, many companies are discovering that those newly acquired products can be difficult to sell without an IT infrastructure that supports customer-friendly business processes.
With the frenetic pace of global M&A showing no sign of abating — more than 50 percent of all manufacturing companies have been involved in multiple mergers and acquisitions within the past five years, according to the survey — nearly every CIO today must at some point grapple with the enormous challenges of integrating acquired companies.
Attend this Manufacturing Business Technology broadcast to learn about developing the right IT strategies for mergers and acquisitions.
