CFO Magazine reports
that the importance of IT integration following a merger or acquisition isn't

handicap is still the starting point — if you have processes that are
well defined, you'll be entering into integration
with a sound logic. But processes aren't well defined at most companies so a
merger is just adding complexity to an already complex element of corporate
life." http://www.cfo.com/article.cfm/9429426/c_9461771?f=home > CFOs Pare Back Expectations
