Due Diligence Made Easy
Do you have time for due diligence?
Gaining valuable IP assets is often the motivation behind mergers and acquisitions. Determining the real value and impact of that IP for your company prior to deal close is essential but often difficult in today's mixed code world of open source and commercial third-party products. That's why thorough code audits are becoming a key part of every due diligence. Understanding licensing obligations of inbound code is critical to minimizing compliance and legal risks and meeting corporate IT governance requirements.
Unfortunately, in today's fast-paced corporate environment, such due diligence is challenging. Determining accurate IP value requires a more efficient, automated way to inventory and analyze code and the help of an experienced team of software IP experts.
