Investing in software:
Do you really know what you are buying?
Date: Tuesday, May 14th
Location: London, UK
In this seminar, key aspects of technical debt and associated risks in investing/acquiring tech companies will be examined in the context of a acquisition so that attendees can gain a greater understanding of these issues and how they can be addressed as a part of the financial and legal due diligence into the target, including in relation to:
- Open Source Software and the importance of understanding whether the open source is licensed correctly and how it can otherwise jeopardize proprietary intellectual property.
- Redundant legacy code and how redundant code can lead to substantial time and resources being wasted on supporting unnecessary, unwieldy and surplus code which can also impact on the achievement of future business goals.
- Code Quality and how this can cause challenges in technical convergence post acquisition and impact further product evolution and revenue.
