Acquisition International recently asked us to provide the perspective of a dataroom provider about the factors that contribute to a succesful M&A transaction and integration.

You can read the full article here, but some of the main areas I mentioned are:

  • Executive management and even board involvement in the evaluation of integration effort
  • Clear integration plan as a key part of the overall business case to approve the deal
  • Dedicated Integration team and specialists with internal credibility and leverage
  • An Integration team involved in the deal from the early stages of the transaction
  • Clear milestones and metrics to measure integration result

Enjoy the reading!
