- Information system integration during merger and acquisition (M&A) is a critical process when organizations are joining. The integration process consisting of several crucial activities for making organizations being able to work together. Organizations need to evaluate internal and external factors in order to make the process work. In this paper we evaluated critical success factors, challenges and information systems (IS integration methods from interviews with employees in a case study to identify the most critical activities for a successful IS integration. The investigated process stretches from the introduction of the M&A to the actual integration of two organizations IT-stacks. The identified crucial activities found were top management support, organizational culture, importance of competence, internal communication, maintaining information system security, communication with end-users and managing legacy system. Evaluating these topics and creating a short and a long-term plan on how to integrate and work with these are essential to succeed with the IS integration in any M&A.
