Abstract
Mike Blumenthal, CEO of Burroughs, successfully executes the merger of Burroughs and Sperry in 1986. The case discusses the putting together of the two firms in a fast time period in order to achieve cost savings, high earnings, and an integrated culture. Blumenthal calls in two post- merger consultants to assist in the process as well as a large consulting firm. After one year it appears the new company, Unisys, is off to a good start, yet the integration of the MIS systems seems to remain as a looming concern.
