We help UK mid-market and PE-backed businesses identify hidden technology risk, improve post-deal performance and prepare technology estates for investment, acquisition and exit.

Full advisory scope by stage — due diligence, post-investment, and pre-exit →
Every lifecycle stage is assessed through the same six-domain framework — so findings are comparable across deals and portfolio companies.
Can the platform support the growth case without rework, integration failure, or disproportionate run-cost?
Are controls mature enough for buyer scrutiny, regulatory expectation, and operational resilience?
Is technical debt manageable, and can the engineering organisation deliver the roadmap investors expect?
Is the data estate fit for reporting, automation, integrations, and responsible AI adoption?
Can the technology organisation execute the plan — with governance, cadence, and accountability investors expect?
What does technology really cost to run and scale — and where does spend support or dilute EBITDA?

Answers to common questions about our technology due diligence, risk assessment, and value creation advisory services.
Our technology due diligence address the following core assessment domains: Architecture & Scalability, Cybersecurity & IT Controls, Codebase & Engineering Quality, Data, Integrations & AI Readiness, Delivery Capability & Operating Model, and Cost, Resilience & Value Impact. You receive a prioritised risk heatmap, remediation roadmap, and a comprehensive report for your investment committee.
Each transaction is different and the amount of due diligence required refelects the complexity of the target company and the value of investment. We understand the importance of working to deal timeframes, ensuring technology DD does not act as a barrier. Before committing to any project, we discuss your requirements and confirm anticipated timings. Typically due diligence ranges from 2-6 weeks.
We work closely with portfolio leadership in the first 100 days post-close to establish strong tech governance, remediate high-risk diligence findings, and align their engineering and product delivery capability with the growth plan so EBITDA margins are protected.
Beyond our Advisory Services, our Solutions Delivery division provides experienced operators, architects, and program managers who work directly with your in-house teams or channel partners to execute the remediation roadmap and transformation programs. At all times, Altran Consulting enforce strict quality procedures and ensure all delivery meets our riggerous quality assurance standards.
We work with portfolio companies 12 to 24 months before exit to assess their data room readiness, close any cyber or control gaps, and package a clear, defensible technology narrative that minimizes price chips and friction during buyer diligence. At all times our objective is to help management maximise their company valuation by ensuring their business is transparent and scalable.
