Mergers & Acquisitions

Underestimating the impact of organizational culture on your technology plans can lead to costly delays and unplanned outages, says John Donohue, Penn Medicine's associate VP for enterprise infrastructure services.

The CISO in the healthcare environment has an important role to play during a major acquisition—whether they are the target for acquisition, or the acquirer, both face major consequences if information security is overlooked or mishandled during the transition.

Having a meaningful impact can help with the day-to-day operational issues of IT.
