MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

M&A projects are often intense and high-risk scenarios since they represent huge capital investments and require large teams that are distracted from their normal business. At the same time they are great opportunities for entrepreneurs to create stronger business franchises.

Despite growing numbers of M&A transactions many mergers take longer then planned and are unable to create the anticipated financial value. Information Technology, with it's omnipresent role in today's business plays a crucial role in achieving a succesful merger.
