From time to time our company looks at opportunities to grow the business through the acquisition of other organisations. When this occurs we are asked to review the information technology infrastructure of the target organisation. Our brief is to assess their IT health and identify areas where there may be significant expenditure required to ensure it achieves a level which complies with our standards. We are also expected to recommend how IT should be structured following the acquisition. For example should the company continue with its current processes or should it be partly or wholly, integrated into our network and be subjected to our governance procedures.
