Denise:

Nicely said. Those circumstances very often occur in mergers because the acquiror does not truly understand the acquiree, and is often different at heart.

All companies, particularly SI, can be viewed as living organisms with souls - and acquirors tend to play God - and find out later that they aren't.

I witnessed it over and over again in my former M&A career.

I have a lot of faith in the SI sponsors, but they are inexperienced in business. Anything can happen. Perhaps the collective wisdom of the SI posters can help them stay out of trouble.

It is quite a collective wisdom.

regards, peter
