Compatible information systems a key to merger success.
Information systems compatibility can directly affect the benefits an organization receives from a merger or acquisition.

At the micro level, information systems compatibility is closely tied to every benefit a merger or acquisition brings. Potential merger partners can assess whether their systems will mesh with an information systems compatibility index.
