Research Proposal

Most convenient basis: ITADD NLB Method Create initial IT due diligence framework based on: Experiences within NLB (Model), Best practices Work System Framework (Alter’s) Compare it with science researches Verify it on real case studies

Research Approach

  • Based on NLB method
  • Proven in many initial and general IT due diligences (see

Case Studies)

  • Basis for universal IT due diligence framework
  • Prototype tools will be develop for:
  • Draft action plans
  • Draft questionnaires
  • Draft spreadsheets with macros (for questionnaires’ analysis)
  • Draft reports
  • Framework will be documented
  • Framework will be tested and proven as universal framework

which could be used almost everywhere

Case Studies

Current data base:

More than 15 initial IT due diligences More than 10 IT due diligences In finance industry (banks and other financial institutions) Within 15 countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe Time period (1998 – 2008)

Future plans:

Prove and verify framework in other areas (e.g.: insurance companies, pension funds companies, broker companies, stock exchanges) Time period (2008 – 2009)

Conclusions

IT Due Diligence is not simple task No world wide used frameworks Some limited methods, tools, standards, frameworks are available NLB method as basis for Universal Initial IT Due Diligence (UITDD) Framework Content of UITDD Framework will be:

Instructions, Plans, Questionnaires Spreadsheet tools Reports

Framework should be proven outside banking industry with case studies
