During this highly collaborative meeting, everyone shared their ideas in an atmosphere of open communication. Guy Campbell and Tom Waechter united the team by sharing the new company vision, mission, values, guiding principles and quality policy. They also reviewed our business plan goals, which clearly reinforced the value of the deal and what we’re working toward. We reviewed the preliminary employee survey results and created steps to make sure we don’t lose sight of what we want the new company to be.

The Integration Functional Leads presented their initial integration plans and actions were determined to link the right people and resources to each plan. We also developed a set of Day One activities to ensure that we can conduct business as Harris Stratex Networks on the day we close.

The Integration process is in full swing, with weekly transition meetings taking place among all team members. We will all come together for additional face-to-face meetings as the transition period continues. And, we will be sending you regular communications, so you can hear more about our progress as we create our new company.

The Integration Team is focused on creating our new company, allowing you to remain focused on driving the success of our respective companies. We understand that you may have questions about the integration process. We will keep you informed and encourage you to remain committed to your daily tasks. Stay tuned for more Integration News.
