IT Due Diligence
Your trusted partner to prepare for mergers, acquisitions, or digital transformation
Due diligence is crucial for organizations when implementing new technology solutions, new projects, or considering mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Due diligence helps you assess the business value of a target IT department, and evaluate the investment needed to continue advancing its strategic capability.
The IT posture of an enterprise can influence the trajectory of an M&A decision because legacy systems with even a minor vulnerability can expose the entire company to risk. Due diligence can help identify such shortcomings and ensure that these vulnerabilities are resolved entirely before the company goes ahead with the M&A.
