M&A IT due Diligence
Helping with your M&A
In most merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, the pace of the transaction, focus on the operational and financial performance of the target, and the competition created by multiple potential buyers make it a challenge to devote the time and resources necessary to perform thorough technology-related due diligence. This challenge is further compounded by the fact that many lawyers who have been handling M&A transactions for years simply do
not know what questions to ask or understand the magnitude of the potential risks presented by the condition of the target company's technology environment and practices.
Why invest in this service?
IT due diligence is more than just a review of the quality of the equipment, reliability of
applications, and the ability of the team to keep the lights on. Even if it uncovers risks,
having strategies in place to address the issues and a financial model that considers
important investments in the first few years of the organization’s dealings can take an
average-performing company to another level.
Due diligence can also uncover sources of cost reduction opportunities and synergy value by
identifying redundant systems, duplicate licenses, and consolidation of third-party providers, which could support a more competitive purchase price offer to the organization.
We have the team.
Due diligence is performed with our highly experienced professionals, with relevant industry
backgrounds and who have either managed an IT operation or have been involved with

differently and focus on the deal strategy and how IT can enable value.

strategy. Looking at IT through both technical and business lenses offers clarity on how IT
