Private Equity M&A: Identifying $140,000 in Hidden IT Liabilities
A private equity group was 14 days from closing the acquisition of an Orlando engineering firm whose internal IT documentation was sparse and unverified.
Steve Cormier performed an intensive 72-hour on-site architectural audit, discovering that primary CAD file servers were five years past warranty, offsite backups had failed silently for six months, and software licenses were under-reported.
Armed with the architectural risk memorandum, the buyer negotiated a $140,000 purchase price reduction and implemented a turnkey modernization plan immediately upon close.
