So, what your basically saying is that my IT department, which concentrates on running my network and servers, really has no idea how to evaluate anther organization’s IT during a due diligence because they really don’t grasp the business concepts behind my divestiture strategy. I can buy that. My IT team is great once we can convey our business strategy to them, but it takes a lot of effort to get us there.

I’m in post merger restructuring too. I’m looking forward to reading your post on buy side divesture due diligence. I’m working on a carve-out of a financial services / wealth management division that my company acquired and it’s more technically complex than we anticipated . When do you expect to publish the divestiture process postings?

Great topic area! I have done 30 plus transactions and I know that the technology due diligence is lacking in almost every deal. The problem as you have correctly placed it is that usually the engineers asked to look over the technology do not have a strong enough business side and the business people do not understand the technology.
