I’m curious about the common factors that impact whether a post merger integration project finishes on time and on budget. For those of you who have finished integration work on time, what do you attribute your success to? For those who have seen integration work run over on time and/or money, what was the reason? In my experience, IT system integration timeline and costs are chronically underestimated and undervalued, causing delays in finishing the integration period.

Much of the integration can be done on time, but IT challenges can be considerable. I agree that that is the area that tends to have the most deviation from the plan.
