ALL>> The latest issue of Forbes ASAP magazine has a very interesting article on the role ERP can play in mergers and acquisitions. The company is Duke Energy, and they use a PeopleSoft system, but I assume that it would work with SAP too. Duke says their whole M&A program would fail without the software, which allows it to merge and refigure the the employee benefits and payroll records of the new entity.The system also adjusts for new projects ,budgets,and payrolls. AS computers in general have made more M&A possible because of increased communication which allowed the release of many middle managers, apparently ERP can further extend this capability. Eventually this will result in fewer, but stronger companies, all of which will need ERP more than ever.
