Megamergers such as AT&T–Time Warner and Verizon–AOL have the potential to redefine entire business segments. However, a key underpinning to this success is the ability for IT organizations to standardize on a common platform architecture to reduce capital expenditures (CapEx), operational expenditures (OpEx) and gain the benefits of scale, open management, virtualization and cloud-based service efficiencies.
