Overview Enterprises whose growth strategies include mergers and acquisitions are faced with unique challenges associated with the integration of distinct business entities. Not the least among these challenges are the ones presented in combining different IT infrastructures. Modern corporations rely on the smooth operation of their IT infrastructures to support their core business. All efforts aimed at integrating the people, processes, and technologies of two (or more) companies must, therefore be directed at minimizing the impact to day-to-day operations. In addition, the new combined IT entity is expected to deliver improved performance that effectively supports the business requirements of the combined entity.
