M&A Information Technology Best Practices

Praise for M&A Information Technology Best Practice Jan Roehl-Anderson and colleagues have done a superb job creating a guidebook for executives in an area where limited information exists-how to leverage the IT function during a merger, an acquisition, or a divestiture. The book examines current trends and is loaded with practical examples. The book and related website are brimming with valuable blueprints, checklists, and case studies. -VALERIE BORTHWICK former Senior Vice President, Oracle Consulting Every once in a while, you come across a book that provides real-world, practical advice on an important business topic-M&A Information Technology Best Practices is one of those gems. The twenty-plus years that Jan and her team have worked in the M&A IT space have provided valuable experiences and insights that can benefit a broad audience. This is a must-read for every business and IT executive who has or will be involved in a merger, acquisition, or divestiture effort. -MARK WALSH U.S. M&A Service Line Leader, Deloitte Consulting LLP One of the most crucial components of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures is addressing the IT aspects of the deal. M&A Information Technology Best Practices walks the reader through IT situations that may be encountered during one of these transactions. By using this text, the prudent manager can help mitigate a key deal risk while increasing the probability of achieving a successful transaction. Highly recommended. -STEVEN BRAGG author of Accounting Best Practices
