M&A & Private Equity

Supporting Private Equity firms and CIOs throughout critical IT execution phases associated with mergers, acquisitions, and carve-out transactions.

IT Due Diligences for Private Equity and M&A Transactions

We support Private Equity firms and corporate investors with IT Due Diligence to identify technology-related risks, dependencies, and value creation opportunities ahead of an acquisition.

Our assessment covers the IT landscape, applications, infrastructure, security, data, and operating model, providing a clear view of integration or separation complexity, execution effort, and potential impact on deal timelines and valuation.

The outcome is a decision-oriented view of IT risks, required investments, and post-close priorities — enabling confident investment decisions and effective Day-1 readiness and post-close execution across acquisitions, carve-outs, and integrations.

Transaction-focused, decision-oriented IT assessment covering:
1. IT Landscape Overview

Clear view of applications, infrastructure, data platforms, and third-party dependencies.

2. Risk & Complexity Assessment

Identification of critical IT risks impacting Day-1 readiness, business continuity, and deal execution.

3. Carve-Out / Integration Readiness

High-level assessment of IT separation or integration effort, timelines, and complexity drivers.

4. Cybersecurity & Regulatory Exposure

Review of security posture and regulatory considerations (e.g. compliance gaps, audit exposure).

5. Operating Model & Cost Transparency

Assessment of IT operating model, vendor landscape, and run-rate cost implications.

6. Value Creation Opportunities

Identification of IT-driven levers for cost optimization, scalability, and performance improvement.

7. Indicative Investment & Roadmap View

High-level estimate of required IT investments and priorities for the first 100 days post close.

8. Executive Summary for Investment Committee

Clear, concise findings tailored for Investment Committee and Operating Partner decision-making.

Our IT Due Diligence is designed to support value creation, not just risk identification. It enables Operating Partners to:
  1. Anticipate execution challenges early
  2. Avoid Day-1 disruptions
  3. Prioritize post-close initiatives
  4. Understand IT as a value lever, not just a cost center
  5. Accelerate integration or carve-out execution
  6. Protect deal value and IRR
