Integration Management encompasses a wide variety of functions during the integration of two or more separate entities.  In most integrations, there are so many simultaneous management events, overall management strategy is subverted to concern with unit level task detail.

Benefit from straightforward analysis and management strategy addressing integration factors

In order for integration processes to succeed, drivers for the integration such as tax concerns, cost efficiencies, market share, operations needs, and growth objectives must maintain attention and be regularly clarified and communicated to key management staff.

The master plan and individual unit plans should not be managed independently.  A main concern about integration is the management of slippages in any plan, particularly as they impact other plan areas.

Communication is the key to integration management

Communication must be constantly maintained and converted to a horizontal network (across departments and groups) as well as remaining intact and functional in its typical vertical structure (between senior and lower management levels.)

In addition to the achievement of a smooth integration process, constant monitoring and communication may add leverage points not previously identified.  For example, relocation might lead to envisioned real estate cost reductions and better process flow; however, it might also qualify the company for tax benefits and training incentives, discovered through a vigilant integration management process.
