You probably know most mergers fail to deliver promised business results. And according to a survey by Booz Allen Hamilton, one third of respondents lay the blame on IT. Setting aside issues of culture and personality, IT executives face two parallel challenges:

• Merging two IT operations – from personnel to data centers, systems, networks, etc.
• Adapting merged systems to enable the new business strategy of the merged enterprise

Merger success requires close alignment between IT and business decision makers to understand how IT must adapt to deliver the synergistic new services required by the combined business. Getting two organizations to operate as one, and turn on a dime requires smart planning, strategy and experience with all facets of IT operations.
