Your move is motivated by a need for a product or service, a new positioning, or simply access to new resources.

At Dictis, we combine both the business methodology and the technological understanding that are key to the success of any investment deal in the high-tech arena.

Dictis leads you through the entire process: from the initial selection to the actual investment.

• Select: Dictis helps you determine precisely the type of business you need to get involved in. We list companies corresponding to the established criteria and select potential opportunities.
• Evaluate: Focusing on targeted companies, Dictis manages financial, technical and legal due diligences, using the best of your expertise and dedicated external resources. This is key to establishing a deal, and makes sense both for you and your future partner.
• Plan: Dictis defines the integration scheme with you. Whether you make a minority investment or a full participation investment, a successful deal is a deal where your business is best prepared to leverage the synergy of the new relationship.
• Decide: Your organization eventually needs to choose whether or not the deal should be made. Dictis provides you with comprehensive reports together with related conclusions that will enable you to take the right decision.

Our contribution to effective deals in the areas of digital economy enablers (Wireless Internet, Trust infrastructure, Smart card, Payment) is unique in that we are able to manage the project in a continuous process, from the analysis of its strategic impact to your business to its effective realization.
