Taming integration chaos (the core of M&A failure)

Many M&A deals fail due to "integration chaos" caused by reactive IT management and a lack of early-stage technology integration planning. To mitigate risks such as system redundancy, security gaps, and disrupted employee productivity, CIOs should adopt a proactive, unified platform approach that simplifies user access and standardizes endpoints. This strategic shift allows IT to move beyond crisis management to actively drive long-term operational value and successful integration.
