    Orchestrating Synergies: How IT Procurement Delivers Strategic Value in M&A Integration

    Enterprise IT resources are consumed by integration and maintenance, an operational burden largely inherited from M&A-driven expansion, where fragmented systems and overlapping platforms divert focus from innovation. In this environment, the true value of a merger is unlocked not at the deal table but in the speed, precision, and strategy of post-merger integration. IT procurement sits at the nexus of strategy and execution, where converging systems, platforms, and vendors offer immediate, measurable impact. Beyond headline-grabbing cost savings, its real power lies in simplifying decision-making, reducing digital complexity, and speeding up enterprise integration.
