Architecture & applications
Understand core platforms, dependencies, custom software, maintainability and structural constraints.
M&A Advisory · Technology Due Diligence
See the technology reality behind the transaction before it becomes an ownership problem.
Technology due diligence helps buyers, investors and transaction teams understand whether the target’s systems, architecture, security, data, vendors and operating model can support the deal thesis—or introduce cost, risk and delay after close.
What We Examine
Technology diligence should reveal the operating truth—not just inventory the stack.
Focus the transaction team on the technology evidence, dependencies and decisions that can materially affect value, continuity and execution.
Cloud & infrastructure
Assess hosting, scalability, resilience, cost profile, observability and operational maturity.
Cybersecurity & access
Review controls, identity, incident readiness, vulnerabilities and material exposure.
Data & integration
Examine data quality, ownership, interfaces, pipelines and critical system dependencies.
Transaction Risk Lens
Translate technical findings into transaction questions leadership can act on.
Translate technology complexity into clear transaction decisions, priorities and execution paths without adding unnecessary process.
COSTHidden investment
Identify modernization, licensing, infrastructure or staffing costs not obvious in headline financials.
CONTINUITYOperational dependency
Surface single points of failure, key-person risk and business-critical systems with weak resilience.
SCALEGrowth limits
Test whether architecture and operations can support the business plan without disproportionate reinvestment.
CONTROLSecurity exposure
Make cybersecurity and access-control issues visible before ownership changes.
How the Diligence Moves
Evidence first, then risk interpretation, then transaction relevance.
Translate technology complexity into clear transaction decisions, priorities and execution paths without adding unnecessary process.
- 01
Frame
Align the review with the deal thesis, target operating model and materiality thresholds.
- 02
Evidence
Review systems, documentation, interviews, architecture, controls and operational realities.
- 03
Interpret
Separate material findings from normal technology imperfection and connect them to cost, risk or execution.
- 04
Prioritize
Define what matters pre-close, Day 1, the first 100 days and longer term.
Decision-Ready Outputs
Give the transaction team a clear technology view that can move into action.
Translate technology complexity into clear transaction decisions, priorities and execution paths without adding unnecessary process.
Technology diligence summary
Material findings, severity, business relevance and the decisions they should inform.
Risk register
Prioritized technical and operating risks with practical implications.
Investment view
Likely modernization, remediation and transition cost areas.
100-day priorities
Actions that should move quickly after close.
M&A Advisory Paths
Move across the five technology workstreams connected to the transaction.
Each advisory path addresses a different transaction technology question while staying connected to the same evidence-to-execution model.
