Managing The Change Process Of The Post-Merger Enterprise Systems Integration: A Case Study

Maria Alaranta, Managing The Change Process Of The Post-Merger Enterprise Systems Integration: A Case Study. The International Journal of Information Systems and Change Management 1(1), 62-81, 2006.

Abstract:

Both post-merger integration and the implementation of an enterprise system (ES) are sources of radical change in a company's life cycle. This paper builds on a business process change model for enterprise resource planning implementation and integrates into it M&A issues, issues related to company expertise and resources, and factors related to software and vendor. The case study reveals that elements of each item in the model play a role in the post-merger ES integration processes and emphasises good-quality ES integration management.
