A diligent search for independent technology assessments resources confirms a scarcity of credible providers.  Some limited technology assessment services are available for information technology (IT) operations and to a lesser extent for e-commerce.  There are also some limited resources in the health technology and food processing industries.

Otherwise, independent technology assessment or technology due diligence services are seriously under-utilized.  Before Beta-Rubicon was founded, such services were virtually impossible to locate. 

Individual and institutional investors and financiers exploring investment opportunities in technology-oriented enterprises are among those in need of these services.  So are companies and individuals who need evaluations of the relative risks and potential rewards of merger and/or acquisition opportunities with technology-oriented enterprises.  Beta-Rubicon provides independent technology assessment services to these groups.

Beta-Rubicon also addresses the area of the internal technology-oriented investment by a business or a government agency.  Most often, the only information previously available to decision makers in such situations was the information from outside sales personnel, who obviously have a vested interest in their own brand or product, or from internal employees who have little or no expertise in the particular niche area.

In all of these cases, Beta-Rubicon can provide independent technical analysis and assessment of the subject technology and can deliver clear, concise, and non-biased reports addressing the various options.  Our assessment services and reports will ensure that your decision process is more complete and can be made from a far more informed position.  (For a more thorough discussion of this topic, please refer to our white paper on "Independent Technology Assessments".)
