Technology Due Diligence
Firms assessing IT systems and technology risks in M&A contexts.
Market snapshot
These figures describe IT Consulting & Advisory (9.4.3), the segment that Technology Due Diligence sits within. They are not figures for Technology Due Diligence on its own.
Not sized separately. Advisory work draws on the same custom-programming and systems-design classification as every other delivery segment here, so the revenue sits with the parent. Consulting is nonetheless the front door to the rest: the firm that scopes the roadmap usually wins the implementation behind it.
