From M&A Promise to Post-Merger Reality: A Practical Enterprise Architecture Playbook

M&A deals are sold on synergies and growth, but too often stall in overlapping systems, cultural friction, and unclear integration choices. This eBook shows how Enterprise Architecture reframes post-merger integration from reactive IT cleanup into a clear, capability-driven story that business leaders understand, support, and fund.

You’ll learn how to move from two disconnected landscapes to one coherent, value-driven target state - without losing momentum after the press release.

What you’ll learn inside:

  • How to reframe M&A integration around business capabilities, not system inventories - so executives stay engaged beyond day one.
  • A practical method to put two IT landscapes on one page, making overlaps, gaps, risks, and dependencies visible early.

  • How to compare integration options per capability (consolidate, adopt, or introduce new platforms) with clear trade-offs on cost, risk, speed, and cultural fit.

  • How to turn analysis into a living roadmap, quantifying the hidden cost of doing nothing and linking every wave to measurable value and risk reduction.

Download the free eBook and learn how Enterprise Architecture can turn complex M&A integrations into structured, transparent, and value-driven outcomes.
