In mergers, acquisitions, and organizational shifts, accurately assessing the IT department's worth is often challenging. Enhancing the bargaining power and decision-making by investigating not just the apparent costs but also the IT department's true value generation, potential shortcomings, hidden or indirect expenses, as well as upcoming hurdles will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the IT sector's impact on your business strategy.

IT/Tech Due Diligence can be executed across offerings, each of which has a focus across an entity’s people, processes, and systems and incorporates unique industry considerations.

Deloitte defines the scope of a project as a tailored process, influenced by several critical factors. It's not standardized but rather determined on a case-by-case basis. Key considerations include the available time, the client's specific requests, the size and geographical reach of the business, the number and type of applications in use, data center capabilities, employee headcount, hardware and software requirements, IT vendor capabilities, supplier contracts, and the potential for outsourcing. These factors collectively shape the project's boundaries and guide its implementation.
