Technology Acquisition Due Diligence

Intelligent insights. Actionable Outcomes.

Transformative analysis conducted by hands-on technology experts who illuminate risk and ensure scalable investments.

A PROVEN PROCESS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

1

Discovery & Alignment

We partner with you to understand the core objectives, critical metrics, and key parameters of your prospective target while proposing other areas to consider given the company vertical. The agreed upon output will serve as the assessment framework, which will be analyzed in detail.
2

Analysis & Insights

We'll interview key stakeholders, analyze critical artifacts, review code repositories, assess development practices, understand their modernization journey, technical debt, while assessing their cloud, infrastructure, application and security environments as well as understand perpetual software agreements.
3

Acquisition Readiness

We will provide an overview analysis accompanied by a comprehensive readiness score of your target company which is an average of all the core technical tenets from the assessment framework. Scoring will be provided at the individual tenet level with corresponding analysis and a high level remediation recommendation as needed.

SPEED TO VALUE CAPTURE

We understand time is of the essence. Equally so, being hasty is not an option. We strive to provide a deep technical analysis aligned to your objectives to ensure you have an accurate understanding of the technical landscape.
