Mike Kiersey, Principal Technologist at Boomi – a Dell Technologies business – has warned that, unless applications and data are adequately integrated, Fiat Chrysler-Peugeot £38 billion merger might be set to fail:
While the Fiat Chrysler-Peugeot merger points to the birth of a titan of the automotive industry, but this cannot happen unless integration is made a priority. This should be carried out immediately in order to reduce cost, make sure productivity does not falter during the process, and ensure shareholders keep seeing a profit, Kiersey said.
This merger will be complex with a myriad of systems, applications, complex processes and data flows, coupled with the complexity of disparate supply chains. Harmonising theses will be problematic and costly, he said
