A due dilligence for investors creating a future state definition for a SaaS proposition
FFD was asked to assess a Spanish technology company dedicated to developing innovative digital solutions for talent management and training. The objective was to thoroughly understand the technical and business capabilities, evaluate the viability of existing tools, assess the reliability of technology & code, and gauge the quality of the team and company. All leading to a future state definition for a SaaS proposition including potential business valuation for the existing tools and future integrated products with Management Drives.
A phased project approach across tech and business, delivery of a full assessment of the products/digital solutions, code base and data model, business model and capabilities. Executed by a focussed, small and seasoned team that dared to deliver concise and actionable reports with clear recommendations.
The understanding of the Spanish technology company has been guiding input for the realised acquisition. Within 2 months the new combination was ready to build a SaaS based North Star. Adding value in addressing capability gaps, reduction of non-core costs, identification of geographic synergies and, above all, the development of the product innovation roadmap that lays the foundation for a SaaS future.
