Description

Corporate mergers, while common, are invariably complex—particularly for IT teams.

What’s involved in being part of a post-acquisition IT merger? How will your organization change? What can you do to make the process smoother, and position yourself to be in a better career position within the merged company? In this course, instructor Lee Atchison covers these questions and more as he discusses how to manage the organizational and technological impacts a merger can have on IT teams.

Discover which tools and systems may be impacted, how staffing may change, and how IT teams should consider company culture as they support users during the transition. Lee also helps you better understand your own role within a merger, including how to leverage any new opportunities that arise as the organizations coalesce.
