ISSUES

Hidden inefficiencies, obsolescenses or scalability limitations within the target's application and technical architecture can introduce significant risks to the M&A process. These can manifest as integration challenges, increased costs for technology upgrades, or constraints on future growth and needed capabilities to support business scale up, potentially undermining the value of the investment. These hidden liabilities can lead to unforeseen costs, and operational disruptions, ultimately affecting the investment's value and growth potential.

Approach to solution

Emphasize a thorough technology due diligence that specifically assesses the maturity, scalability, and adaptability of the target's application and technical architecture.

This evaluation should include a review of the software development practices, data management systems, and infrastructure to identify areas that may require transformation or integration efforts. The findings will guide strategic decision-making, facilitate smoother integration planning, and ensure the acquisition is aligned with long-term technological roadmap and business goals.
