Accelerating Enterprise Merger and Acquisition Integrations with Aviatrix BUSINESS CASE Enterprise mergers and acquisitions present both great opportunity and great challenges. Integration of people, processes, and systems can make or break the success of any enterprise scale merger or acquisition. There are often high expectations and aggressive timelines for acquisition integrations. From a business perspective, the goals of most acquisitions are to achieve upside financial benefits—a simple one plus one equals three equation. The faster the integration can be completed, and the goal achieved, the better. However, from a CIO or CISO perspective, the equation can be much more complicated. Aviatrix has proven to help simplify the equation, accelerate acquisition integration time, and more quickly achieve upside financial benefits. Enterprise cloud strategy has become a business-driven decision, not a technology-driven decision, and M&A activities are a perfect example of this. Even enterprise IT leadership may not be included in the decision to acquire, they are simply told, after the fact, to execute the integra- tion. However, the success or failure of the integration falls on the shoulders of the CIO/CISO's leadership and their teams' ability to execute. Architectural foresight can reduce integration time by months, which often translates to mil- lions of dollars in accelerated revenue to the business. Are you ready? "Aviatrix's platform has allowed us to focus on our core expertise. We now have networking and security all auto- mated with a point and click solution. We have enhanced visibility and control that were was not possible by using native cloud native tools." Spence Nelson Senior Network Engineer Adobe | Workfront
