IT Carve-Out Readiness Check
In 5–7 days we assess the separability of your IT landscape – before you invest in a costly implementation. At a fixed price.
The key question before any IT separation
Is the IT carve-out feasible, how long will it take, and what will it cost?
Without a thorough analysis, carve-out budgets are regularly exceeded by 30–50%. The Readiness Check gives you reliable answers in 5–7 days.
Tight timelines
Signing and closing set hard deadlines – IT must keep pace.
Unknown complexity
Legacy IT landscapes, shared services, and hidden dependencies.
Cost overruns
Without a readiness check, budgets are regularly exceeded by 30–50%.
Business continuity
A failed IT separation can destroy the transaction value.
