Technology Due Diligence

Are you planning to acquire another company?
Are you planning to merge with another company?
Is something telling you your IT systems outlived themselves?
Do you have big plans but don't know where to start regarding your IT systems?

Technology due diligence, if done well, will give you a clear picture of company's IT systems.
- It'll describe the current level of technologies and weigh pros and cons.
- It'll determine how well the company uses the existing technologies.
- It'll assess the level of organization's readiness to grow.
- It'll indicate the level of financial investment required to provide the company with the tools it needs to operate effectively and grow.

Technology Due Diligence is an investigative process that includes numerous conversations and interviews with appropriate parties, review of existing systems' functionality, available documentation, databases and software. The result is a comprehensive report of findings and conclusions.
