IT integration is one of the most important components of any merger and acquisition.
Blending the IT systems of the merging organizations is a crucial step toward making them one entity, achieving the synergies between them, and facilitating strategic and cultural integration. Without technology integration, we just have two separate entities that report their revenue as one. AffSoft will provide pre-merger process assessments focused on the value that technology will bring to the merger deal. Through these assessments, we can both plan for the merger, and how we will keep you operational throughout the complete integration. This will reduce costs derived from disruptions and training, and ultimately leads to a faster time to market.
