Hi everyone,

Its that time of week again for your scenario based challenge!

One of the common themes when combining companies is to streamline costs and maximize cohesion. Usually a number is thrown about as a percentage to cut or target budget for the combined entity going forward.

While some of this cannot really be determined until Day 1 has come and gone, there are a few places where you can get an early peak. However, you will need more than the single page summary line on the P&L statement.

Where would you expect to see some tech overlap, and how can you tell if it really is a common synergy?

Tune in next week for my take or hit reply and share yours!
