Tech Due Diligence
Better Tech DD helps Private Equity (and Corporate) buyers understand the software and systems their acquisition target is running and identify any outsized Tech risks prior to acquisition. This will mean they can negotiate better Ts&Cs and ensure that any major Tech risks that get identified can be addressed or mitigated in the first 100 days post investment.
They will also get early sight pre-acquisition, of key Tech-powered Value Creation opportunities to inform and improve their investment thesis. Better Tech DD means working with Noremo’s senior Tech leaders who bring real-world operational experience to an assessment and interviews with the target's Tech leadership to ask and uncover the unsaid.
We don’t just see Tech DD as a tick-box exercise to drive future audit and management consulting revenues, we see Tech DD as a valuable exercise in itself. We come with our own framework and AI tools to accelerate our work so we can offer standard Tech DD assessment packages to meet aggressive deal timelines.

Tech Strategy
If your company has been around for 10 years or more and has made at least one acquisition, its business leaders are often dealing with a whole spaghetti mess of different systems, duplicate processes and manual interventions stringing the whole thing together - from new product development to online marketing and sales to shipment of goods or services to ongoing customer support.
If you're a business leader and thinking about your next 5 years of growth, you're probably also wondering whether you've got the necessary software and systems to support those ambitions. You know you need to invest in Tech, but you’re not quite sure what you really need, what to do in which order, and how much it is going to cost. That's where Noremo can help.
We offer expert Tech Strategy guidance and execution support. We can help you craft a Tech Roadmap for your Value Creation initiatives, to prioritise and cost key programs, launch RFP processes with multiple suppliers, interview candidates for key roles and to kick-off priority initiatives that align with your company’s vision and goals.

Exit Preparation
Our playbook works for Exit Preparation too. A Growth Company positions itself more favourably with prospective buyers be they another Private Equity fund or a large multi-national corporation if it has well organised, up-to-date documentation and a roadmap of ongoing Tech initiatives. As this will show how the company will continue to deliver value for the new owner for many years into the future.
Having that information prepared well ahead of time and being a true reflection of company status will help accelerate future buyers' Due Diligence process and compress your own exit timelines.

Your Challenges
Tech is absolutely fundamental to every business today and with AI it's only going to get more important in the years ahead. As technology continues to advance at a breathtaking pace, organisations need to take a breath to consider their options before renewing their pursuits with vigour and focus.
At NOREMO, we can help you prepare for some of the following challenges:
AI Impact & Opportunities
LLMs and AI Agents are disrupting every industry. How do you make sure you are on the right side of history? How should you clean up your data to ensure your AI models' insights and predictions are valid?
Cyber Security Risks & Mitigations
Hackers, fraudsters and rogue state actors continually scan your boundaries and probe your supply chain for gaps and fissures. How do you ensure your team and systems are prepared? What should you do to minimise the impact when your defences do get breached?
Markets & Customers
Customers expect to have access to digital information and be served 24/7. How well do you serve your customers today? How are your customers’ needs evolving? How should you reach new customers in the future? What new markets should you be addressing?
Digital Products & Services
New digital products and subscription services are giving buyers new engagement options. What should you be offering your customers? How should you price these offers? What will your Tech architecture look like? What technology, software and tools will you need?
Data & Integration
Bringing together a single view of your customers, your orders, your products, your services, your devices and their interactions can deliver powerful business insights undiscovered when viewed independently. What data should you start generating, collecting or mashing to add value over time? How are you storing, processing and analysing your data to derive insights and initiate actions?
Organisational Evolution
With evolving technology and customer needs, successful organisations must reorganise their team structures to support new growth targets. How should you change how you organise your teams’? What should their geographic distribution be? How will their ways of working need to change? What training should you provide?
Our Framework
Our Noremo Technology Framework (NTF) synthesises 25+ years of experience gleaned at the sharp end of global corporations, scaleups, and startup businesses. It provides a structured, extensible framework for consistently assessing businesses across 7 key categories in any industry. We use the same categories to assess an organisation's Technical capabilities today (Tech DD) as we do to identify Tech Value Creation opportunities against 3 Month and 1, 2, and 3 Year timeframes (Tech Strategy).
Noremo Technology Framework
We use our framework to assess businesses across these seven categories:
- Technical Architecture
- Cyber Security, Risk & Resilience
- Data & Analytics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Product & Engineering
- Team & Organisation
- Technology Costs & ROI
