M&A Advisory Services

Logan Consulting helps companies navigate the technology considerations of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.  IT assessments have always been part of merger and acquisition due diligence.  Few if any such transactions would move forward without the acquiring party believing that sound IT due diligence had taken place.  Unfortunately, our experience suggests that in an alarming majority of cases, the IT due diligence fails to capture the transaction’s IT risks.
