Technical Due Diligence
For a customer from the finance sector we conducted a technical due diligence at a company, our customer wanted to join in. In the course of the due diligence we analysed the system architecture and performance, IT security aspects, the licencing environment, and the state of the documentation. We reviewed the technical tools, that were used, and the processes for development, project handling, customer support and operations. The result enabled the customer to reach a better investment decision.
