M&A: post acquisition integration

Hi guys,

We are going to be more acquisitive (mostly small businesses) and we have our first M&A candidate we are ready to pull the trigger on. I will be asked to work on integrating the target company (ie: contracts, hr, it, processes etc... to be worked on).

Are there any resources/playbooks etc available to get up to speed with best practices and tools that are used in post m&a integration? I ordered a book off amazon on the topic but not much is available there...

Thanks much
