What are mergers & acquisitions (IT)?
A Mergers & Acquisitions refers to a transaction in which two companies are merged. M&A transactions are a proven way to maximize growth or acquire talent and value. As soon as it becomes known that a merger or acquisition transaction is in the pipeline, this (normally) affects the share price of the parties involved.
Difference between mergers and acquisitions
Although mergers & acquisitions are often mentioned in the same breath, there is a slight difference between the two transaction types. A merger refers to the merger of two companies, which often continue together under a new company name. In a merger, the owners are similar to each other and continue as joint owners of the new, merged company.
An acquisition or takeover means that a target company is bought by another (usually larger) company. In this case, there is no equality between the parties and mutual agreement on shared ownership. After the acquisition transaction, there is often no name change.
The role of our IT experts in M&A
With Mergers & Acquisitions as entrepreneur you would do well not only to focus on the strategic opportunities of the parties involved and the internal-political implications of such a transaction. Given the fact that IT in a modern organization is so intertwined with day-to-day operations and other business processes, attention to the upcoming IT integration process should be a permanent item on your schedule.
