ICT Integration Concept at Gruner AG

Abstract

When the acquisition of Waidhas GmbH was announced, the head of Gruner ICT realised that past integrations had been complicated because there was neither enough time to plan the integration correctly nor a standard concept that outlined how Gruner wanted to integrate acquisitions. To rectify this, he tasked the FHNW to write two concepts, creating a general standard for acquitions at Gruner AG as well as providing a specific integration plan based on the general concept.
