Technology continuity from diligence through Day 100 and beyond.
Buying an operating company can also mean inheriting software nobody can explain. We help you understand the dependency before closing, preserve the seller’s knowledge through handover and turn the findings into an operating plan.
01 / Before closing: identify the dependencies that change the deal.
Start with how the company delivers revenue. Identify which systems support quoting, scheduling, fulfillment, billing, customer access and reporting. Then establish who controls them, what relies on one person and what a failure would interrupt.
A diligence deadline can be shorter than a full Foundation. We agree the decision needed, access available and deliverables before accepting the scope. We do not assume that a 4–8 week engagement fits your closing date.
- Business dependency and system inventory.
- Account control, transfer rights, licenses and vendor renewal obligations.
- Key-person dependence and the seller’s transition commitments.
- Recovery evidence, material technical gaps and costed priorities.
- Items requiring specialist legal, financial, regulatory or security diligence.
02 / At closing: make control demonstrable.
A spreadsheet of passwords is not a completed transfer. The acquiring company needs verified administrative access, recovery methods, billing control and an authorized way to change each material system. Seller accounts and personal email addresses should not remain the only recovery route.
Record what has transferred, what remains outstanding, who owns each action and what arrangement keeps the business operating until it is complete.
03 / After closing: run the business while reducing the dependency.
Stabilize the critical systems first. Establish the Operations Record and test restoration. Then sequence the next changes by value and risk, including systems to buy or retire. The roadmap gives your operator a mandate and your investment team a way to see progress.
The Voodoo.tube case describes a software product later acquired and the processing dependencies a new owner needs to understand. Use the first 100 days plan. Bring the technology continuity checklist to diligence.
04 / Know the assessor’s commercial interest.
Ego Eimi can bid on remediation after an assessment. We disclose that interest, and the buyer may choose anyone to carry out the work. Findings and priorities should remain useful to another provider.
Foundation can also support sell-side technology readiness. Legal opinions, financial diligence and organizational certification remain with the appropriate specialists.
05 / Continuity for one company or a portfolio.
A searcher may need a single handover. A holdco or sponsor may need an ongoing function across several companies. We define each entity’s systems and criticality, then price the scope of responsibility. See Tech Team coverage and share your deadline and access constraints.
