M&A Source Code Review

M&A Source Code Review

Prolifogy’s M&A Source Code Review is dedicated to assessing the strengths and weaknesses of enterprise software applications during the M&A due diligence period. We can begin reviewing applications of any size in as little as a couple days of the initial request. Within approximately two weeks, our final report will be on your desk detailing our code review findings.

What Our Reports Cover

Our final reports cover the most commonly requested topic areas, including:

• Code correctness
• Readability
• Suitability of the chosen technology stack
• Architecture
• Scalability
• Extensibility
• Database design
• Exception handling
• Concurrency
• Logging
• Presence and quality of testing
• Security
• Critical issues
• Third-party libraries

We customize M&A source code reviews to the exact needs of stakeholders. We can include or omit any topic above and also accommodate specific requests not mentioned above — for example, stability, performance, adherence to requirements, and documentation.

What We Review

We review entire web solutions, middleware layers, back end, front end, business logic, embedded software, mobile, Windows, and other application types or components. Our team is well-versed in most major programming languages and technology platforms, including C#, VB.NET, C, C++, Java, and many others.

Our staff has extensive experience reviewing applications in industries such as bioinformatics, wireless and 3GPP technology, insurance, finance, VoIP, tracking and tracing, consumer electronics, social media, operating systems, and others. The same experts who conduct our M&A source code reviews are also industry leaders, Ph.D.s, and testifying expert witnesses.

What to Expect

We endeavor to make our reviews as turnkey as possible. To make your life easier, we handle the logistics and complexities of arranging access to the source code, coordinating with designated contacts at the acquisition target, complying with security policies, traveling if necessary, and coordinating all resources to work on the review. Availability includes weekends, holidays, and on short notice. We routinely work under high pressure and within very tight time frames to deliver our findings in a comprehensive report that is readable by both business stakeholders and technologists.

In the event that we discover serious deficiencies during our analysis, we can also assist in estimating the cost and resources necessary to remediate such issues.
