IT Due Diligence
Our IT due diligence offering isn’t a “check the box” exercise – our industry experts help investors understand how technology is (or isn’t) enabling a target’s business performance and where there are opportunities to drive value post-close. From risk mitigation to reps and warranties support, we support clients throughout the entire deal process.
How we help clients
We help clients determine how well a target acquisition is enabled by technology, and substantiate risks and investments required to support their investment thesis across applications and infrastructure. We also support complex mergers to strategically plan and execute system integrations, outline transition service agreements, and help devise efficient and effective organizational models to best leverage new and existing technology. Our expert IT due diligence team often collaborates with our operations due diligence team, providing an integrated due diligence capability.

- Is the target at risk for unplanned IT investment?
- Are the applications that support critical business functions scalable?

- Has the target developed a digital transformation strategy to manage their end-to-end operations?
