Heremba’s technology assessment connects findings to the cost, timing and dependencies of the intended deal. An engagement can extend into delivery, with the scope and responsibilities agreed for that work.
Explore Technology Due Diligence for the assessment scope and outputs. Our M&A Technology Framework explains how diligence connects to the work between signing and Day 1. Our methodology sets out the approach behind the assessment.
Questions about the related work
Can diligence findings be carried into delivery?
Yes. A technology assignment can connect diligence findings to the subsequent delivery plan. The scope identifies the work required and the responsibilities involved. The B2B Information Group example records pre-deal diligence carried through to Day-1 continuity; the related service page explains the scope available for a new engagement.
What can a new technology diligence engagement assess?
The scope follows the transaction perimeter, intended end state and decision required. It can assess relevant systems, data, infrastructure, support and cost dependencies. Findings distinguish available evidence from unresolved questions. The engagement defines the specific outputs rather than assuming every target needs an identical assessment.
Can we start with a pre-LOI assessment?
Yes. A Rapid Read can identify material technology questions from the information available before an LOI. Its conclusions reflect that access. Unresolved points remain visible and can inform fuller diligence. The scope and reporting dates are agreed against the transaction and the decision the client needs to make.
Does an assessment require a delivery engagement afterwards?
No. The work can be limited to a defined technology assessment. If the client requires delivery support, that assignment is agreed within an explicit scope. The findings and assumptions can provide its starting point without creating an automatic commitment to commission Heremba for the subsequent programme.
