M&A software due diligence identifies license compliance gaps, unfavorable vendor terms, hidden software liabilities, and post-close savings opportunities before a transaction closes. UMS reviews the target's software estate, contracts, entitlements, and vendor obligations so buyers can price risk, negotiate protections, and plan integration from a defensible fact base.
We've stopped deals over $10M exposures. We've also saved them. Know exactly what you're acquiring before you close.

Traditional due diligence often overlooks software licensing risk. Non-compliant deployments, unfavorable contract terms, and hidden vendor obligations can create multi-million dollar liabilities that only surface after close.
Software liabilities are one of the most overlooked risks in M&A. Non-compliant licenses, unfavorable contracts, and hidden vendor obligations can cost millions post-close. UMS provides rapid, thorough software due diligence that protects your investment and identifies immediate post-acquisition savings.
We identify license compliance gaps, audit exposure, unfavorable contract terms, and vendor lock-in risks before you close the deal.
Beyond risk, we identify immediate post-acquisition savings opportunities through license consolidation and vendor rationalization.
We provide a clear roadmap for software integration: which licenses to keep, consolidate, or eliminate - and how to negotiate the transitions.
Deal timelines don't wait. We deliver full assessments in 2-4 weeks, aligned with your deal schedule.
Three phases. No reports gathering dust. Engagements run on the timeline of your renewal, audit, or fiscal year.
We analyze the target's software estate: licenses, contracts, compliance posture, and vendor relationships - typically in 2-4 weeks.
