Faster, more cost effective technology due diligence
Rapidly understand your acquisition targets, and the performance of your portfolio companies by benchmarking against the essential elements of a high performing technology function.
Using the StackUp platform is like engaging a high calibre technology consultant, but at a fraction of the cost:
Technology due diligence can be slow, expensive and inconsistent
Technology due diligence is not easy - new technologies and security risks are emerging rapidly, technical debt is increasing, and the change is accelerating. Hidden issues such as inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities or poor governance, can remain undetected during due diligence, potentially eroding value and increasing risk post-investment.
Depending on the availability of the technology experts you use to conduct technology due diligence it can delay your investment process by days or weeks, and the resulting recommendations and reports differ based on the consultant that created them.
It can also cause problems for the businesses being assessed, distracting them and moving significant effort and resources away from their core focus: running and growing the business.
Without a clear, objective understanding of a company’s technology, investors risk overestimating enterprise value or missing key opportunities for optimisation. This can lead to costly setbacks, failed integrations and underperformance.
Benchmarking in all the areas that matter
The StackUp platform is the fastest and most cost-effective way to benchmark the entire technology function of an investment target or a portfolio company.
It takes only 30 minutes for the company to complete the self-assessment, enabling you to assess more companies and rapidly get a picture of their technology maturity, cyber security, health of IT infrastructure and ability to innovate – all elements that can significantly impact value creation.
If satisfied with the results of the report, you also have the opportunity to engage our Independent CIO/CTO Verification and Insights Service to validate the results of the self-assessment, and provide further recommendations or analysis.
