Checklist: Mergers & Acquisitions (Free Download)

Networks, systems, and corresponding information technology elements are often overlooked in the build-up to a merger or acquisition. Yet, as soon as an acquisition or merger completes, all attention quickly turns to maximizing the deal’s value, minimizing expenses, and adding efficiencies wherever possible. Without an understanding, however, of the IT tools and platforms in place at the new firm, and the manner in which the second organization’s systems and equipment will be integrated, chaos, delays, increased expense, and inefficiencies become likely.

Organizations shouldn’t wait until an acquisition is finalized to begin documenting the infrastructure, systems, equipment, and policies in place at both firms and developing a plan identifying which systems stay, what equipment goes, which competing elements are permitted to coexist, and what policies will serve as the new standard. Work should begin as soon as a potential merge appears likely.

There’s much to consider. Fortunately, this checklist from TechRepublic Premium can help ensure no critical elements are overlooked.
