Target evaluation

Comprehensive tech assessment for optimal outcome

Our Tech Due Diligence serves both investors evaluating technological foundations and companies preparing for exit. For buyers, we provide critical insights into scalability potential, technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and infrastructure limitations that impact valuation and post-acquisition requirements. For vendors, we identify and articulate technological strengths, competitive advantages, and innovation capabilities that attract premium valuations. 

Our assessment covers software architecture, development processes, team capabilities, and IT efficiency. By translating technical assessments into clear business implications, we ensure buyers make informed decisions while sellers position their technology infrastructure as a key value driver for successful exits.

Case study

Evaluating technology and data strategy to drive smarter investment decisions

We supported Link11's acquisition of Reblaze with a four-pronged technical assessment, including a buy-side technical and cyber due diligence on Reblaze Technologies Ltd. and a post-merger integration (PMI) plan.

Link11 was extremely pleased with the comprehensive technical analysis provided by OMMAX, which facilitated the successful acquisition of Reblaze. The work of the Tech and Cybesecurity Due Diligence team provided an extensive overview of the current and future technical capabilities of the company's software as well as various post-merger integration options.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our Tech Due Diligence

Tech Due Diligence is comprehensive audit of technology platforms, infrastructure, and data strategy before transactions. For buy-side, it assesses technical risks, investment requirements, and post-acquisition optimization opportunities. For sell-side, it showcases technological strengths, competitive advantages, and innovation capabilities that support premium valuations and attract technology-focused buyers.

Our Tech Due Diligence goes beyond basic IT audits by evaluating Technology's strategic alignment with business goals. We assess scalability, Technical debt, team capabilities, and provide business-focused recommendations that directly impact investment decisions and post-acquisition value creation strategies.

Key risks include technical debt requiring remediation investment, scalability limitations, security vulnerabilities, and development process inefficiencies. Opportunities include automation potential, infrastructure optimization, team capability enhancement, and technology-driven competitive advantages that create sustainable value creation and market differentiation.

Our Tech Due Diligence typically takes 3-5 weeks depending on the target company's technical complexity, system architecture scope, and required analysis depth. We work within your transaction timeline and can prioritize critical assessments while maintaining thoroughness and accuracy.

You'll receive comprehensive tech assessment reports covering architecture evaluation, security analysis, team capability review, and financial breakdown of tech investments. For buyers, this includes risk mitigation strategies and post-acquisition improvement roadmaps. For sellers, deliverables include technology competitive advantage documentation and positioning materials for buyer discussions.

For buy-side, the Tech Due Diligence should start early in evaluation to inform valuation models and identify post-acquisition tech requirements. For sell-side, it should begin 6-9 months before market approach, allowing time to address technical improvements, enhance team capabilities, and develop compelling technology equity stories that maximize valuation outcomes.
