Those of you who have been through a merger or acquisition know the challenges these events can place on a business. While there are always anticipated benefits, the actual degree of success is completely dependent on a comprehensive integration plan that drives both the immediate and long term goals of the new entity.
We were fortunate to have such a plan and a strong implementation team in place well before our acquisition by Siemens closed, and it has made an enormous difference – in many ways – in our ability to continue growing and delivering new value to our customers.
