Architect's Role in Mergers and Acquisitions

A focused set of 10 actionable best practices for the Architect's Role in Mergers and Acquisitions — the practices that separate an architect brought into due diligence early enough to price in integration risk from one handed a signed deal and told to make two tech stacks work together by Day 1. Built for technology leaders operating in M&A environments.

What's Inside

• 10 Best Practices — covering IT due diligence red flags, Day-1 integration architecture, system-of-record decisions, and sequencing rationalization after close
• Introduction — why integration risk that should surface during due diligence instead gets discovered after signing, and what that costs
• PowerPoint Format — Clean slides ready for team presentations, workshops, or leadership briefings

How Teams Use It

• Enterprise architects use it to get a seat at the due diligence table instead of being handed integration mandates after signing
• Use as a checklist to benchmark M&A technology integration plans against proven practices
• Incorporate into training materials, onboarding decks, or strategy presentations
