Micon Consulting has more major utility CIS merger evaluations than any consulting firm in the U.S. This also applies to Billing merger evaluation and ERP merger evaluation efforts. CIS merger evaluation activities require both companies to want a single optimum solution for the enterprise. ERP merger evaluation and Billing merger evaluation activities are typically difficult to establish a positive cost/benefit. Micon has conducted more than ten major CIS merger evaluation projects. Micon believes that a successful CIS merger evaluation project is based on obtaining complete cooperation from both entities.
