IT Due Diligence​

Trusted pre-transaction partner, driving value through informed investments.

Technology issues are often the thorniest to resolve when Private Equity firms consider acquiring businesses. Not only must their entire front and back end technology stacks be rebuilt to enable the company to operate as a standalone entity within the Private Equity portfolio, but this transition must happen seamlessly, with no impact to business continuity.

Effective due diligence is critical to determining whether the deal includes all of the required system and technology infrastructure as well as the supporting data, people, contracts and intellectual property to be a success. It also provides essential analyses to help decision makers assess the scope of technology included, risks and opportunities, one-time costs, and requirements for transitional services, among other issues.

Our team offers thorough and insightful due diligence services that encompass comprehensive assessments of target companies’ technology infrastructure, data, cybersecurity, and digital capabilities to inform strategic decision-making and drive successful outcomes.
