Hidden IT risks in M&A deals like outdated servers and cybersecurity gaps uncovered by IT due diligence inspection.

The Hidden IT Risks in M&A

Strategic buyers often discover post-close IT shocks like outdated infrastructure, unbudgeted upgrades, and vendor traps that erode EBITDA and kill synergies. Neglected maintenance hides tens of thousands in costs per deal, turning a “great acquisition” into a money pit without proper inspection. Your onsite review surfaces these issues early, giving you concrete data to negotiate price adjustments or seller concessions.
