IT Due Diligence
A mismatch between IT systems from newly acquired or merged organisational units and the systems of the new owner can lead to major problems. The organisational impact of such a mismatch can be enormous. The cost of redressing such a situation is also often enormous.
Traditionally, due diligence involves (book) investigations into finances, taxation and legal matters. Nowadays, it is veritably unthinkable that IT is not a part of it.
Systems that are insufficiently compatible with each other, information that cannot be merged or large investments that have to be made because the software is heavily outdated. These are all examples of issues that can be prevented.
