A CTO’s Perspective on Finding, Evaluating and Mitigating Technology Debt during Due Diligence Assessments

In this presentation, OODA CTO Bob Gourley provides insights on technology debt in due diligence based on a career spent evaluating the business impact of technology.

The information presented here can be of use to firms on the buy-side or sell-side of a due diligence.

  • Buy-Side: The Private Equity Firm or Strategic Acquirer who needs insight into the technology approach of a target firm will learn where to look to find tech debt.
  • Sell-Side: The firm considering investment or M&A who wants to optimize long term value and achieve more favorable terms will learn ways to reduce their own technology debt.
