The entire process and tools developed by Mike Sisco have been "battle tested" and used in over thirty-five company acquisitions. This is not theory. It is a proven system that Mike still uses to conduct an IT Due Diligence or a technology assessment in his consulting company.
The class structure walks you through the entire process from start to finish, just as if you were actually conducting an IT due diligence and preparing to assimilate the technology of a new company. During each key stage, you will learn "insider secrets" gained from years of experience on what to do to reduce risk and to focus on the most important issues to gain the most opportunity in a company acquisition.

About the Instructor:
Mike Sisco is a former CIO of more than twenty years and has conducted forty IT due diligence and assimilation projects. In fact, as the CIO for one company, he was responsible for the technology transitions of 35 companies in supporting the company's growth.
In this particular company, each department head had the responsibility for getting their portion of due diligence completed, for developing the transition plan for the new company's department, and for managing the actual transition activities once the acquisition was completed.
Mr. Sisco was very successful in these responsibilities and developed his own due diligence process and tools to boost his personal productivity to keep up with the pace the company was taking and to ensure risk issues were identified and addressed appropriately as well as leverage opportunities were capitalized on. It was very important because the new company's technology was to become his responsibility as soon as the deal was completed.
You will receive the entire process and set of tools Mike developed and used himself for many years with complete explanations on how to use them to conduct your own successful IT due diligence and assimilation effort.
Mr. Sisco is proud of the fact that he can't recall a single situation where an employee from an acquired company ever lost his job prematurely and was without work or that he lost key employees in the new company prematurely, a big risk factor. The reason is due to the process and structure he built that reassured new employees that his company would do the right thing by them and that there was a consistent track record in doing so.
Many times, your effectiveness is based upon "how you go about the work" as opposed to what you do. Mike includes many insights that will help every participant better understand that the "approach" and how you conduct yourself makes a very big difference.
