When you invest in a company, you invest in the software that runs it.
Successfully driving digital transformation through acquisition means smart companies must master new skills to incorporate the best of what a target firm can bring while avoiding the pitfalls that can crush the value or cripple the integration. Ted Schadler, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Jasper Geurts, Director of US Consulting at SIG, discuss the key strategic questions that must be addressed to maximize value throughout the digital deal lifecycle.
- Does the technical roadmap align with your strategic objectives?
- Is the intellectual property legitimate and protected?
- Is the software free of security, privacy, IP and maintenance risks?
- Will the software integrate seamlessly into your current infrastructure? Can it scale to meet your growth targets?
