HOW SYSTEM VERIFICATION ADDS VALUE TO YOUR TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS 

System Verification specialises primarily in supporting M&A transactions in which software companies are involved. In these cases, there is often a lot of focus on the software itself, and our Technical Due Diligence (TDD) is one of several parallel due diligence processes needed to cover the entire transaction process. Our approach and work methods are based on the knowledge and expertise we have accumulated from our 20+ years in software development and quality assurance. Thanks to this, and the specific evaluations we have added to the TDD process, in-depth data can quickly be generated on the software and precise derivatives formulated.This means that you, as an investor, can avoid any unpleasant surprises – you will have a clear picture of the quality of the software systems you are about to acquire.

A technical due diligence is an integral part of most acquisitions – needless to say, especially if it is a software company you are about to acquire.
