Protecting Critical Data During the M&A Process

All companies rely on critical data assets that are housed in the existing IT structure/organization. Whatever your critical data is, it is represented in bits and bytes, housed in computer hardware and software. This critical data needs to be identified, shepherded, and protected. As you go through the Mergers and Acquisition or fundraising process, how are you ensuring that the critical data assets of the acquisition target are protected, in tact, and available throughout the transition period and the first year of new management?
  • If you are buying a company: How can you be sure that you.re getting healthy IT assets, processes, and data?

  • If you hold fiduciary responsibility: Do you have enough data-points to make good decisions? Wouldn't it be helpful to add a layer of IT due diligence?

  • If you are looking to invest: How can you leverage good information about the IT capacity of a company to drive up performance?

  • If you are selling the company: How can you showcase that you.ve done the right thing with IT?
 Simply put: Information Technology is a major, and increasingly menacing area of risk for the M&A process and VC investment communities.

Accountants can value a company and make an assessment of the health and well-being of the company in terms of the financials but with IT being so critical to the company. who is assessing the IT value for you? Who is helping you identify and mitigate IT-associated risk?

Setting a New Standard

Currently, there is no standard, consumable report that serves the M&A and VC investment communities, providing a way of checking the IT risks of the company quickly, accurately, and in a repeatable format. The IT Acquisition Risk Management Report fills this need. The IT Acquisition Risk Management Report is analogous to a home inspection used in the sale/purchase of a home. Orderable by either organization in a large transaction, it is an independent, consumable report that can be used to make critical decisions.
