Case for action

Businesses must ensure that their financial and company acquisitions & divestitures are successfully completed and anticipated benefits are realized. In practice captured value often falls short of expectations. Some deals actually reduce shareholder value for the acquiring company as financial predictions do not materialize.

Getting value in acquisitions is directly linked to getting IT right as this often directly enables the business value for the deal. IT is generally the largest cost element in integrating an acquisition and when well managed can be the single biggest enabler of synergies.
