Although there is enough research being published to identify the success and failure factors, through this paper an attempt to identify the gridlocks not just during the project stage but even before the project starts and relating this to 3 key elements people, process and technology. Apart from these the Paper focuses on the project practices adopted by organisations in managing the integration projects.
