Client Story
Amsterdam, March 21, 2024 - Evaluating technology during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be difficult, especially when it involves acquiring digital software assets. The software's source code is often a closely guarded secret that represents years of development and the knowledge of the employees of the target company.
