Due Diligence and Technology Audit

Prior to making an investment or completing an merger and acquistion , it's critical that you thoroughly assess the company's underlying technology. To be viable and profitable, a business must not only integrate adequate capitalization, good management and efficient operations, but sound technology as well.

Venture capital firms and investment banks are often qualified to evaluate a target company's finances, management, and operations, but frequently may benefit from an independent, third-party evaluation of its technology. Indeed, conducting a structured and thorough technology review will provide you the insights you need to make a more confident investment or acquisition decision.

With its teams of scientists, engineers, technology experts and other professionals, Tietronix brings the capabilities and expertise necessary to evaluate the technology worth of your acquisition or investment.

Tietronix will perform a comprehensive technological review on your behalf, including a “strengths and weaknesses” analysis of the target's technology product(s), a review of the target's positioning against comparable competing products and technologies, and a discussion of the target's organizational capabilities with regards to technology. We will conduct the following to protect you:

• Review of the technical architecture including compliance with standards, data structure design, module structures and code reuse, control flow, and code structure. We inspect the source code, review documentation, evaluate plans and processes, and assess scalability and performance issues.
• Assess how the target’s company products measure up to the competition.
• Assess the target company’s technology development team capabilities.
• Evaluate the development process and procedures (source code control, virus checking, compliance, etc.)
• Review maintenance and upgrade release history.
• Interview prospective and existing customers. In general these interviews will assess functional and technical satisfaction with the products.
