This research is about information technology (IT) and merger and acquisition(M&A). In recent years, M&A has been a common tool and a fast way for companies to grow and do business. Thus, M&A activity still continues to flourish despite the current economic downturn. M&A is a business transaction and IT has become an increasingly important part of the business. Studies show that while many M&A have failed for different reasons, the major reason is that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Information Officer (CIO), and the key handler of the M&A project did not bring the IT department on board early in the project, due to lack of understanding of the critical role that IT plays in M&A deals. In order to successfully execute M&A, it is essential to have a well-built IT department as a model for M&A with well thought out governance and policies in order to set a good foundation for a successful M&A project. This paper offers some viewpoints, approaches, and methods to help ensure the success of the M&A project; this paper also illustrates some real world successful examples which show the M&A project's ability to perform the synergy capture which drives most M&A.
