The Deal Looks Perfect.
The IT Does Not.
83% of mergers fail to deliver promised synergies. The number one culprit is technology integration complexity that nobody audited before the ink dried. We eliminate that blind spot.
Pre-Close or Post-Close.
We Govern Both.
Whether you are evaluating a target before the LOI or rescuing a stalled integration 18 months post-close, our methodology adapts to the urgency.
The Hidden Risk Matrix
What the Data Room Didn't Show You
Hidden Technical Debt
Legacy systems, undocumented integrations, and shadow IT buried in the target company's infrastructure. Your financial model cannot price what it cannot see.
Integration Paralysis
Two ERPs, three CRMs, and five different payroll systems. Post-close consolidation stalls as nobody can map the dependencies without breaking operations.
Synergy Fiction
The deal model projects $4M in IT synergies. But the actual consolidation cost exceeds the projected savings by 200%, turning value creation into value destruction.
Key Person Fragility
The one engineer who understands how the legacy systems interconnect leaves 90 days post-close. Institutional knowledge walks out the door permanently.
Compliance Drift
The acquired entity's data handling practices do not meet your regulatory obligations. SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI gaps surface post-close as inherited liabilities.
Valuation Erosion
Undiscovered infrastructure risk reprices the acquisition. What looked like a 6x EBITDA multiple becomes 9x once the true technology investment is quantified.
Protect the Terminal Value
With Evidence.
We deploy the EXProv governance methodology to forensically map the technology landscape of your target or newly acquired entity. Every integration risk is quantified. Every capability gap is scored. Every synergy assumption is stress-tested against operational reality.
Pre-Acquisition Tech Diligence
We forensically map every system, integration, and technical debt vector in the target before capital is deployed. Your deal model gets grounded in operational reality.
Post-Merger Integration Governance
Our 5-Phase gating model governs the IT consolidation roadmap with objective milestones, preventing integration drift and protecting the synergy thesis.
Capability Gap Scoring
Using the EXProv platform, we quantify readiness across infrastructure, data, security, and team capacity, converting subjective opinions into mathematical certainty.
The M&A Diligence Protocol
Our technology diligence framework maps the complete IT landscape through four critical lenses, giving deal teams the evidence they need to price risk accurately.
