The PMI Frameworks section within our CIO Reference Library provides resources, insights, and best practices for organizations to manage post-merger integration (PMI) using various frameworks effectively. PMI is a complex process that involves consolidating IT systems, processes, and data from two organizations, and leveraging a structured approach can help organizations manage the integration process more effectively.

In the PMI Frameworks section, you will find valuable information on a range of PMI frameworks, including:
