M&A technology insights for deal decisions
The questions to ask, the evidence to examine and the work that follows a technology finding.

From an insight to an assignment
Our M&A Technology Framework connects these questions across the lifecycle. The service pages describe the work Heremba can own when an issue needs assessment or delivery. The case studies provide the approved anonymised programme evidence behind the firm’s remit.
Questions about this page
Who are the insights written for?
They are written for private equity, corporate development and venture or growth investors, alongside investment banks, M&A advisors and law firms. The articles focus on technology decisions in a transaction or operating plan, with the relevant evidence and delivery implications made explicit rather than explaining basic deal terminology.
Do the articles replace an assessment of our deal?
No. An article can identify useful questions and explain an approach, but a transaction has its own perimeter, access constraints and intended end state. A scoped assessment establishes the evidence relevant to that position. Heremba’s service pages describe the work available for a specific assignment.
How are client examples used?
The site uses anonymised case facts within the approved scope of each example. Illustrative scenarios are labelled separately and do not imply additional client outcomes. Programme budgets, governed spend and reported results retain their stated meanings rather than being converted into broader claims about savings or transaction value.
How do I find the service related to an article?
Each article links to the service responsible for the main issue it examines. Our M&A Technology Framework also maps the offerings to the deal lifecycle. If the requirement is unclear, an initial conversation can start with the issue and decision rather than a preselected service.
About the analysis
Insights are published in the firm’s name. Each article should make its evidence, assumptions and limits clear. General examples are distinguished from client case facts, and conclusions should stay within the scope of the information presented.
