Technology is the catalyst that turns a merger or acquisition into a strategic advantage. Did you know that 60% of executives consider digital transformation essential to their M&A strategy? High-profile deals like Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn showcase how leveraging technology enhances user engagement and operational efficiency. Similarly, Dell’s merger with EMC highlights the importance of cloud technologies and data management in protecting and expanding customer bases.
