Technology Due Diligence
We support various types of due diligence engagements, tailored to the needs of the Private Equity firm and the status of the Portfolio Company under consideration for investment.
- Stand Alone Acquisitions
For a detailed business process and technical review of a potential investment, we assess the future technology requirements. This involves understanding the IT environment's capability to support current and future business states, ensuring optimal utilization of available functionality, assessing system maturity and integration, and evaluating scalability to support significant growth.
- Add-On
In facilitating an add-on acquisition, we conduct an exhaustive technical and process review to develop a comprehensive integration plan. This plan outlines the integration of technologies from both the acquired and acquiring businesses, including timelines, milestones, and associated costs. We also formulate a vision for the operations of the combined entities post-integration, and can even lead the integration efforts.
- Carve-Out
For carve-out plans, we begin by analyzing the decoupling objectives on both sides of the transaction. This analysis is then translated into a well-vetted plan of milestones and deliverables to achieve these objectives. As the decoupling progresses, TTS actively manages the process, particularly focusing on timelines, costs, and providing hands-on support for the TSA process.
Strategy and Planning
Technology is the backbone of our world, presenting opportunities for enhanced efficiency, growth, and scalability within our businesses.
Lacking a technology strategy and plan, your business risks falling behind the competition.
Does your company have a long-term technology strategy in place? For many, the answer is no. This presents a significant challenge, as short-term technology plans may not suffice for long-term business strategies. Aligning these two is crucial for maintaining competitiveness.
We have the expertise to develop the long-term technology plan required to ensure your technology strategy is aligned with your broader business objectives.
- Technology Roadmap
- A comprehensive technology roadmap serves as the cornerstone of any successful long-term technology strategy. We specialize in crafting the precise roadmap necessary to bring your plan to fruition. At TTS, this entails outlining the technology requirements essential for your Portfolio Company to maintain its competitive edge throughout the projected life cycle of the PE investor.
- Needs Analysis
- Our process involves thorough research to provide a detailed analysis of your technology needs, encompassing pros and cons, timelines and milestones, anticipated costs, investment considerations, implementation guidelines, roles and responsibilities, and recommendations for software and vendors.
- Plan of Action
- At TTS, we ensure that our action plan emphasizes impact. Our strategy involves identifying quick wins to capitalize on immediate opportunities swiftly, while also documenting and supporting the long-term vision for your company.
The objective is to delineate and detail how technology should align with the overarching corporate strategy, encompassing short-term victories as well as long-term planning for years ahead.
Our team of technology experts assists in forecasting potential technology shifts that could disrupt organizations, industries, and sectors, helping you decide whether adopting new technology is the right move for your organization.

Technology Execution and Management
More than ever before, businesses need a trusted partner.
Regardless of whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, the future of your company hinges on harnessing new technologies to enhance productivity and elevate performance.
However, it's equally crucial to invest wisely and adeptly manage the integration of these new technologies for your success.
Businesses need help with strategic, technology, and transformation challenges.
Drawing on years of technology implementation, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a background in investment, we offer our clients a tried-and-tested blueprint.
During the rollout of new technology solutions, many organizations assemble teams comprising members from their IT, Operations, and Marketing teams, alongside program/project managers to spearhead the process. As organizations undergo technology transformations, strong technology leadership and management become crucial.
We offer our clients comprehensive technology management support, spanning from interim CTO/CIO roles to technical program and project management, along with board/executive advisory services.
With our profound industry knowledge, we know how to apply it effectively. Our technology consulting professionals boast an average of over 15 years of experience, enabling us to swiftly assess complex issues and identify the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for your business.
At TTS, we’re focused on mitigating your risk and delivering transformative results.
Initially, change can be a bit challenging, as transitions are never effortless. However, when you collaborate with TTS, you engage with senior business leaders who are esteemed experts in their respective fields of expertise. Expect us to partner with you throughout your implementation project, guiding you on your journey towards digital transformation.

Business Intelligence
Companies now have the capability to focus on the most crucial metrics, even without requiring a team of data experts and with minimal investment.
Timing is crucial, and private equity firms and their portfolio companies require an informational advantage to distinguish themselves and gain a competitive edge.
At TTS, our business intelligence methodology involves a comprehensive data analysis to address all your inquiries - even those you might not have anticipated. Through transformation, normalization, and clear presentation of your data from various systems into a single source of truth, we ensure thorough analysis and clear results. This empowers you to take swift and confident steps forward, gaining a competitive advantage that can make a significant impact.
The widespread use of Excel spreadsheets can often lead to as much confusion as clarity.
Many Private Equity investors rely on Excel for reviewing balance sheets and P&L statements. Generating multiple reports from diverse sources that offer only snapshots of data can lead to significant challenges, from delayed decision-making to considerable revenue loss. These knowledge gaps could easily be filled with the use of real-time reporting. At TTS, we are proficient in the latest business intelligence systems, ensuring you receive the data necessary for swift and confident post-acquisition actions.
Private equity investors are increasingly recognizing the transformative impact of cloud-based data analytics tools on the M&A lifecycle.
In the fiercely competitive middle market, investors require near real-time access to data across portfolio companies to effectively address and overcome growth barriers. The Private Equity industry is gradually embracing tools that convert data into actionable insights. With minimal investment and without the need for a team of data experts, companies gain the ability to focus quickly on the metrics crucial for progress, making these metrics easily understandable for those capable of influencing outcomes. For the first time, nearly every business has the opportunity to leverage the power of data analytics and dashboards.
