Blinqx: TDDs for solid investments


Blinqx is constantly expanding its software portfolio by taking over specific software components. This increases her knowledge in the sectors in which she works and allows her to specialize even more. We support Blinqx in carrying out TDDs to assess the technical quality of new software products. And see how this new software can be integrated into their existing suite. A crucial aspect of all these acquisitions is recognizing and valuing innovative technology and expertise that takes Blinqx to the next level.
Standard approach and customization
Blinqx regularly asks us to perform Technical Due Diligence (TDD) in the event of an acquisition. This way, they can make well-founded decisions about possible acquisitions and assess and manage risks in advance.
In every Technical Due Diligence (TDD), at Blis Digital, we consistently use our 7-step approach, where each TDD contains essential, fixed components. In addition to these standard components, we focus on specific areas of focus for each TDD. For example, assessing technical integration options for integrating products into the Blinqx portfolio or identifying improvements that apply to the entire portfolio.
Since 2019, we have been doing TDD projects for Blinqx. The team that works on these projects varies, but usually consists of two professionals, plus specialists for specific technologies. Depending on the project, we involve experts for, for example, source code analyses, infrastructure or security, etc. The duration of a TDD ranges from 2 to 4 weeks.
Less risk, better decisions
As a result of our technical due diligence, Blinqx has in-depth insight into the state of their platform architecture for all software they purchase, technical debt and service levels, plus a detailed roadmap for future developments and improvements. This way, they always have a clear picture of their IT infrastructure, cybersecurity status and the scalability of their technology. This helps them manage risks and make the right strategic decisions.
“Together with Blis, I did several TDDs. The Blis team knows exactly how to uncover the necessary information and risks, without the other party feeling that lists are being completed. There are even valuable discussions that are directly relevant to all.
The entrepreneurial spirit combined with heavy roadworthiness knowledge is a unique combination”.
