We live in a fast-moving and highly competitive business environment in which information technology has become indispensable to corporate competitiveness and profitability. IT often represents one of the largest capital and operational expenses and can have a major impact on company valuation.
So when it comes to M&A investment decisions it’s vital that adequate IT due diligence is included at an early point in the process. Acquisition of a company with a poorly operating and misaligned IT function will incur significant additional costs not accounted for in the original cost projections. The post-acquisition merger of two incompatible IT infrastructures will also come at a heavy price.
Early and systematic due diligence will ensure that major risks are identified before the investment decision is committed while identifying those opportunities that could lead to enhanced post-investment return.
Years of professional experience have taught us the importance of taking a comprehensive and systematic approach to this issue. Because we understand the potential impact of getting it wrong we have developed a fully structured and highly phased engagement process that takes you from pre-investment analysis through post-investment planning, implementation and ROI realisation.
