M&A & IT Due Diligence

Enterprise & Transactional Decision Advisory:

When investors or operating teams need to assess technology capabilities, risks, and transition exposure before an acquisition, divestiture, carve-out, or major structural change, Bradley Partner provides decision-stage support to evaluate IT posture, surface dependency risk, and document tradeoffs. Engagements focus on producing a decision-ready view of cost, contracts, cybersecurity posture, infrastructure constraints, and operational readiness—so transaction commitments are made with clearer defensibility.

Bradley Partner helps you:

Define the diligence questions that matter for the transaction (scope, materiality, decision rights)
Surface contract, renewal, and exit constraints that create lock-in or hidden liabilities
Identify infrastructure, network, and application dependencies that affect separability/integration
Assess cybersecurity, compliance, and governance exposure relevant to the deal context
Estimate transition complexity and “Day 1 / Day 100” decision requirements (pre-execution)
Produce decision-ready findings that support investment committees and operating leadership

Why organizations engage Bradley Partner on M&A and IT due diligence:

Transaction timelines compress decision-making while increasing downside exposure. The primary failure mode is not technical execution, it is committing to a deal without clear visibility into contracts, dependencies, cybersecurity posture, and transition constraints that shape cost and feasibility after close. Bradley Partner operates at the decision stage to help buyers and operators understand what must be true, what risks are material, and what must be negotiated or planned before committing to transaction terms.

Decision areas commonly shaped in this advisory:

IT capability and operating model assessment (current-state readiness)
Contract portfolio review: renewals, notice periods, termination rights, and lock-in
Vendor and licensing exposure (assignment, change-of-control, portability)
Infrastructure and connectivity dependencies (data center, cloud, carriers, SD-WAN)
Cybersecurity posture and governance defensibility considerations
Separation/integration constraints and decision sequencing requirement
Transition cost drivers and risk tradeoffs (pre-close decision implications)

Decision Focus (What We Help You Determine):

Bradley Partner provides a decision-ready assessment of technology risk and transition feasibility that informs transaction terms, negotiation priorities, and post-close decision sequencing, without implying delivery execution.

Outputs (what you get):

Diligence scope and question set aligned to transaction context
Contract and commercial exposure brief (renewals, exits, portability, liabilities)
Dependency map (technical + vendor + operational constraints)
Cybersecurity/governance risk summary for decision-makers
Transition readiness and complexity assessment (separation/integration implications)
Decision memo for investors/leadership (risks, tradeoffs, recommended pre-close actions)
