Technology Due Diligence

Companies that pursue successful M&As hold a key advantage over their competitors, experiencing success when they apply the same focus, consistency, and professionalism to it as they do to other critical disciplines. The scrupulous and systematic analysis of internal business technology and consumer-facing software is, in our experience, one of the key ingredients to a successful M&A.

It is not uncommon for M&A deals to seem perfectly aligned in financial and strategic terms but fail to identify the technological synergies that distinguish a truly value-generating deal. In our experience, most significant IT issues are overlooked during the due diligence stage, only becoming a priority when the integration of IT systems fails after the deal. TechDD helps you improve your odds of success and wield your IT knowledge as a powerful tool for determining which deal is best. With TechDD’s technology due diligence you can:
  • Have Faith in your Investment Thesis. You’ll have more certainty that your top and bottom line analysis will capture the complete big picture of the target, allowing you to set a realistic price package during bidding. 
  • Develop a Long-Term Agenda. The work doesn’t stop once the deal is closed. TechDD will help you continue to generate value after the deal by creating a tech agenda that will continue to guide your technology strategy after the deal.
  • Get Support at All Stages. TechDD will help you on all matters of technology due diligence, from identifying potential points of pressure during integration to reporting on privacy, security and data best-practice in both your company and in the target.
  • Stay Completely Confidential. TechDD maintains a strict policy of never sharing any of our results or work without explicit permission from your business. We will never sell or repurpose any of the work we have done for you to benefit a competitor, or release information without your say-so.
