When testing a company’s balance sheet and forecasts in mergers and acquisitions discussions, IT assets and their performance can be critical.  How can you be sure that this purchase is right for your company?  When purchasing a company, you may take great care to see that your attorneys and accountants realize a distinct advantage with acceptable risk. Frequently however, not enough thought is given to the acquired infrastructure and the software upon which must be maintained.

Risk in Mergers and Acquisitions

Do you understand the long-term benefits and costs associated with the systems to be acquired or merged? Will you perform a de facto conversion of the acquired data or will you allow the acquired system(s) to run in parallel with your existing systems?

AlignTech Solutions can perform due diligence on the IT assets of your to-be-acquired or merged systems to discover:

• The extent to which similarities exist between your systems and theirs
• An evaluation of value of the acquired systems. Are they attractive on paper only?
• An estimation of the cost and effort to maintain the acquired systems
• A recommendation to convert data, use a particular system and either merge or sell assets
