The roadmap to successful mergers and acquisitions: What you need to know about AD consolidation


As competition hots up, companies are aiming for more transformational change in a crowded market, with many turning to mergers and acquisitions of other players in a bid to achieve that. This shows no signs of slowing down in 2022 and beyond, with 92 percent of corporate respondents anticipating the same or an increase in the deal volume over the next 12 months according to Deloitte.
Whilst the overarching focus is on the financial side, the work going on under the surface to make these mergers a success is monumental, and fraught with difficulties due to the business demands for rapid change. While sometimes overlooked, the role of IT teams during M&As is pivotal in ensuring there is no disruption when it comes to accessing or sharing resources.
