Will a merger or acquisition in the financial industry succeed or fail!? Sometimes the answer to this question lies in how quickly and completely you integrate disparate IT systems as well as redundant organisations and processes. If integration happens too slowly or does not go far enough, you won’t cut costs as intended.

So there is a lot at stake. Yet the challenges of integrating diverse IT systems are daunting. While speed is crucial to notch up ‘quick wins’, it’s always difficult to pinpoint the optimal solution. Legacy systems are generally complex. Disparate technologies and architectures add layers of complexity to integration. The perfect solution needs to be adaptable to change and ensure that ongoing business is not disrupted. It also has to support risk and compliance regulations. These IT factors aside, strategic and organisational constraints also play a role in shaping the optimal solution.
