Those of you who have been through a merger or
acquisition know the challenges these events can place
on a business. While there are always anticipated
benefits, the actual degree of success is completely
dependent on a comprehensive integration plan that
drives both the immediate and long term goals of the new
entity.
We were fortunate to have such a plan and a strong
implementation team in place well before our acquisition
by Siemens closed, and it has made an enormous
difference - in many ways - in our ability to continue
growing and delivering new value to our customers.
