Due diligence translates as required or appropriate care, whereby in the M&A context it is a risk assessment. It is usually carried out prior to a company takeover or merger. The aim here is to make the risks of the purchase quantifiable for the investor or the buyer in M&A transactions. After all, the investor wants to know exactly how profitable and sustainable the targeted object is and whether the purchase price in question is justified. Subsequently, the identified risks have to be managed in the post-merger integration.

When corporate acquisitions are the subject of public discussion, they usually involve large, well-known companies and takeovers with sometimes far-reaching consequences. Expansion and influence on the market as well as the realization of synergy effects are then often the driving force behind the purchase. However, most company acquisitions do not attract much media attention and mainly concern medium-sized companies. Here, the company purchase is often more of a means to an end and is carried out, for example, in order to make succession arrangements or as an alternative to founding a new company. For buyers, the purchase of a company can be an alternative to founding a new company. The advantage can lie in already existing structures, well-rehearsed processes and a given employee and customer base. But the takeover of a company is also a complex process that can involve many risks and must be well planned and considered.

Due to the deep anchoring of IT in all corporate divisions and business processes, a company acquisition without its precise consideration and adaptation is unthinkable nowadays. Accordingly, IT due diligence is becoming increasingly important alongside financial, legal and tax due diligence.

Due diligence is an important measure in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). In mergers and acquisitions, due diligence allows the buyer to confirm pertinent information about the seller, such as contracts, finances, and customers. By gathering this information, the buyer is better able to make an informed decision and close the deal with confidence.

As of 1.5.2022, our consulting unit has signed a cooperation agreement with Cape of Good Code GmbH for the joint execution of software and technology due diligence services for M&A transactions. The aim of the cooperation is to use the DETANGLE analysis software developed by Cape of Good Code in digatus’ IT M&A business area. The growing demand for technology/software due diligence in M&A deals shows the increasing importance of software for the valuation and sustainable success in the acquisition of software-dependent business models.
