Case Study: Target achieves confident acquisition readiness with Messina Group IT due diligence

Target avoids unexpected IT risks in acquisition with Messina Group

The customer, a middle market private equity firm, intended to acquire a technical supply and services business named Target but required insight into its IT ecosystem first. They engaged the Messina Group to conduct an IT due diligence assessment to evaluate potential risks and the current state of Target's technical and business processes.

Messina Group conducted stakeholder interviews and reviewed IT documentation to perform a thorough assessment. While no transaction-impacting risks were found, their evaluation identified outdated applications and a lack of dedicated IT staff. The Messina Group provided a prioritized value creation roadmap, enabling the client to proceed confidently with the acquisition and plan for future IT enhancements.
