Digitalization webinar series #3 - IT Challenges in Mergers and Acquisitions

Learn about the IT integration challenges Maersk Line faced when acquiring Hamburg Süd and how they solved them in the Digitalization webinar #3

This webinar is part of a series of Digitalization webinar series in collaboration with the Department of Digitalization at Copenhagen Business School.

In corporate mergers and acquisitions, IT integration typically accounts for 40% of the total integration cost. It is also critical to enable 50-70% of all business synergies. Yet, the involved companies afterwards deem almost 2/3 of IT integration projects as unsuccessful. So, what is impeding success? And what do we mean with IT integration success, anyway?

During the webinar you will be introduced to a summarizing of the extant academic knowledge, illustrating with practical examples from Maersk Line’s recent integration of Hamburg Süd. Thereby this presentation will get you a deeper insight about the fundamental questions about IT challenges in mergers and acquisitions.
