M&A diligence and integration

Rapid growth, increased revenue and diversification are business transformation strategies that fuel mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Verifying and investigating through M&A diligence is essential to confidently moving forward and closing a deal. Once the deal is done, how do you integrate the business?
