Fusion-Acquisition : L’IT, le grand angle mort
在并购交易中，IT 往往是最容易被低估、却又最关键的环节之一。Tata Communications 法国分支负责人 Frédéric Ong 指出，企业在推进 fusion-acquisition（并购/合并收购）时，不能只关注财务、法律和组织架构，更必须把 IT 从一开始就纳入整个流程，而不是等交易完成后再补救。
他的核心观点是：IT 不是并购后的“技术收尾工作”，而应贯穿尽调、整合规划、系统迁移、业务连续性保障等所有阶段。若在交易初期忽视 IT，企业很容易在后续整合中遭遇系统兼容、数据迁移、网络安全、协作工具统一以及业务中断等问题，最终拖慢整合进度，甚至影响并购价值的实现。
Frédéric Ong 强调，IT 之所以成为并购中的“grand angle mort”（重大盲区），正是因为它常被视为后台支持部门，但实际上它直接关系到组织能否顺利合并、员工能否快速协同、客户服务能否保持稳定，以及新集团能否在预期时间内实现协同效应。换言之，IT 不只是技术问题，而是并购成败的重要业务变量。
In merger and acquisition deals, IT is still too often treated as an afterthought, even though it can determine whether integration succeeds or stalls. Frédéric Ong, head of Tata Communications’ French operations, argues that technology must be built into every stage of a fusion-acquisition process, not just addressed once the transaction is signed.
His point is that IT is a major blind spot in many M&A operations: systems, networks, applications, and infrastructure need to be assessed early, aligned carefully, and integrated across the entire lifecycle of the deal. Ignoring that dimension can create operational disruption and undermine the value the transaction is supposed to deliver.
