IT Due Diligence

The stakes

You're looking to acquire a business, and beyond the strategic, financial, and legal due diligence you're undertaking, you're wondering whether the IT department can support your value creation plan. The challenges are multiple:

What is the state of existing technological assets? Are they capable of supporting the transformation plan or, on the contrary, will they hinder its execution?

Is the IT organization capable of handling upcoming projects or does it need to be modified/transformed to cope with them?

Does the information system present security or obsolescence risks and if so, what is the order of magnitude of the CAPEX required for remediation?

The mission

The mission consists, based on interviews and analysis over a very short period of time, of course, of a few weeks, of:

Analyze technological assets from the perspectives of performance, security, scalability, maintainability, etc.

Analyze the organization and operating processes both in daily operations and in projects

Evaluate overall performance and make prioritized recommendations with regard to the target’s strategic challenges
