Pre-Close IT-ODD Franchising Complexity Specialty Assessment Advisory Services —
For franchise situations, our core strategically focused IT-ODD advisory services are expanded to assess the Target’s IT capabilities as a sufficient platform within the context of allowable practices within the Franchise Agreement’s provisions and associated operating practices requirements.
For franchisor situations, our core IT-ODD advisory services are expanded to assess the Target’s IT capabilities as a sufficient platform for enabling appropriate governance and standardization of Franchisee operations.
In both cases, IT-related transaction risks and documentation are assessed, with remedial recommendations identified.
A written report of findings and recommendations is generated and a site visit to the Target’s facilities is conducted to validate the actual deployment of the Target’s IT capabilities.
