Cutter IT Journal: M&As: Can IT Make the Difference Between Success and Failure?

by Mike Sisco

With the economy improving, corporate merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is escalating at a frenzied pace. Over the years, we have witnessed the good and the bad when it comes to company acquisition. What is driving these successes and failures, and what role does IT play? In this issue you'll learn what happened when one company did -- and didn't -- perform IT due diligence. You'll get advice on creating a framework for M&A technology due diligence, discover best practices for minimizing risk during an acquisition, and learn how to recognize and deal with the tricky "people" issues that can make or break an M&A.
