Abstract

The economic logic behind M&As is the notion of the creation of greater value through enlarged combined operations than could be achieved separately by the constituent companies or organisations. Anything that threatens the creation of such value must be regarded as a risk that should, if possible, be mitigated. IT is just such a factor: it can account for a very significant proportion of the synergies identified in an M&A. The ability of IT to deliver is central to the success of many M&A deals. Reducing the risks associated with IT systems and operations in an M&A is therefore vital for the overall success of the transaction.
