Our EVP of Software Products and Partners recommended Do Diligence Partners to me when we embarked on our recent acquisition. We engaged them to review the acquisition candidate’s technology, engineering team, and software delivery processes. Do Diligence met our short timeframe needs and delivered a comprehensive and insightful report that helped confirm our enthusiasm for our acquisition candidate’s technology, team, and processes, but also identified key technology and process improvements that will require further investment once the acquisition is complete. Do Diligence represented my company well, from a technology and people perspective, something I consider critical to completing a successful acquisition. Do Diligence provided the high value and strong results I was looking for. I will engage Do Diligence again in the future and recommend them to any company involved in a merger or acquisition.
Chuck Smith, CEO, Payment Processing, Inc.
We engaged Do Diligence® to help us improve our technical organization and the software processes we use to develop, deliver, test, maintain our software and service our customers. They exceeded our expectations, helping us to significantly reduce the time to market for our flagship product line while improving product quality, and to reorganize our customer-facing teams and processes to improve our overall quality and responsiveness. We recommend Do Diligence® to anyone seeking help in these areas.
Sanjay Shah, Founder and General Manager, ICODE, Inc., Bangalore, India
Do Diligence® provides a unique service that is much more than just a comprehensive review of software. They provide us with real insights into the technology team and their approach to building software, and a true understanding of their intellectual property. If we invest, this information helps us better understand the true value of a company. Equally important, they are incredibly valuable in helping us add value through our investment period to help assure a successful exit.

"With a new year ahead of us, I wanted to take the opportunity to express my appreciation for your work with us last year. You confirmed our view of our technology and uncovered other issues that were not in the forefront. I frankly was surprised that you could develop such an exhaustive analysis in such little time. Your analysis and recommendations have gone a long way to improving our technology and development processes. This in turn, has also enhanced our business strategy. As our technology evolves and our markets change, I look forward to leveraging your expertise and third party perspective again."
