Know what you're buying before you sign
Whether you're buying a business, investing in one or choosing a software supplier, the technology can hide expensive surprises. I give you an independent, plain-English assessment of the code, architecture, security, hosting and people risks, so you can decide with your eyes open.
Sound familiar?
- You're buying or investing in a business that depends on its software
- You're choosing between software packages or development agencies
- A supplier's proposal or quote doesn't feel right, but you can't say why
- You need to know if a system can scale, or how much it will cost to keep running
What you get
- Review of code quality, architecture and technical debt
- Security, data protection and hosting assessment
- Ownership check: code, IP, accounts, licences and key-person dependencies
- Supplier and contract review: what you're really getting
- A clear written report with risks rated and costs to fix, plus a walkthrough call
