Digital Transformation
Supporting organisations in transitioning to modern software development and IT management — with a strong focus on automation and artificial intelligence. Key areas:
  • Process automation — identifying repetitive tasks and implementing tools that reduce time and operational costs
  • AI in software development — moving from traditional coding to AI-assisted development, dramatically shortening the path from business need to working functionality
  • Roles & competency transformation — shifting IT team mindsets, evolving the developer role towards prompt engineer and AI solutions architect
  • Implementation strategy — practical transformation roadmap tailored to organisational maturity, with phased approach and measurable results
  • Risk management — legal aspects (copyright of AI-generated code, licensing), data security, AI output quality control
Technological transformation without losing control over the process and product.
IT Audits in Due Diligence
Assessment of a company's technological maturity in the context of M&A transactions or capital investments. Audit scope:
  • System architecture and technology stack
  • Source code quality
  • Infrastructure and security
  • Development processes (CI/CD, DevOps)
  • Technical debt level
  • Legal assessment — software copyrights and IT service agreements
The result is a report identifying technological risks, realistic IT maintenance and development cost estimates, and concrete recommendations for the investor. Each Executive Summary is backed by detailed analytical documentation — full transparency for decision-makers.
Corporate IT Advisory
Supporting boards, supervisory councils and owners in IT-related decision-making. Independent answers to key questions:
  • Are IT costs adequate for the organisation's scale and needs?
  • Are IT vendors delivering services in line with market standards and pricing?
  • Does the IT team have competencies aligned with business objectives?
  • Is IT delivering business value — not just technological capability?
Expert assessment understandable by management — no jargon, with concrete conclusions and recommendations.
IT Contract Audit
Verification and support in creating IT vendor contracts — from negotiation through to final delivery. Key areas:
  • SLA & maintenance — priority classification, response and resolution times, contractual penalties, guaranteed availability and system performance
  • Software development — engagement models (T&M, Fixed Price), pricing principles, partial deliveries, delay penalties
  • Copyright & licensing — transfer of software rights, licensing terms, sublicenses, protection against third-party claims
  • Termination & transition — contract exit conditions, training for new vendors, transition procedures
  • Security & information protection — liability for vulnerabilities, NDA, right to audit security procedures
Technology Company Due Diligence
In-depth operational analysis of IT companies and software houses — assessing not just technology, but primarily how software development is managed. Scope:
  • Project management — methodology assessment, measuring efficiency, quality and delivery timeliness
  • Capacity & resources — team performance analysis, role assessment, key personnel experience verification
  • Organisational structures — responsibility allocation, information flow, role interchangeability
  • Knowledge sharing — inter-team knowledge exchange processes, internal documentation
  • Tools & development processes — project management systems, CI/CD, monitoring, automation
  • Compliance & security — license verification, data protection, solution scalability
The final report identifies specific risk and potential areas — a decision-making tool for management or investors.
