On-Demand Webinar
Safely and cost-effectively integrating the network infrastructures of separate organizations as a result of a merger or acquisition relies heavily on an IT organization’s ability to successfully plan, implement and execute. M&A integration is a very visible test of IT’s ability to seamlessly deliver and support major network changes, and at the same time, maintain network security and the availability of network resources.

Alex Cullen and Glenn O’Donnell from Forrester Research discuss how to properly prepare for major network changes that result from M&A and the critical steps to take the guesswork out of IT consolidation. Practical methods about how to conduct due diligence both pre-deal and post-merger, develop a sound network consolidation strategy and preemptively address potential security and network availability risks will be provided. Experts from Lumeta will present approaches for gaining global network visibility prior, during and after integration processes in order to drive a successful, swift and safe M&A integration.

By attending this Webcast you will learn how to bring better business value to the M&A integration process through:

• Understanding the challenges of merging networks and assessing your organization’s preparedness
• Crafting a network integration strategy using facts, not assumptions
• Creating an accurate map of the network before, during and after M&A activities
• Gaining insight into potential network vulnerabilities and preemptively addressing risks
• Ensuring network availability during transitional integration periods
