Due Diligence
OK, I might be being thick here, but....
1. Surely HPE did some due dil that's why they employed Deloitte to do it.
2. If HPE should be suing anyone it should be Deloitte, who if found to be guilty should...
3. Deloitte should be suing Autonomy for hiding stuff when it did the due dil.
I really don't understand how HPE can think they can win, they *paid* a 3rd party and then went with their recommendation, surely deloitte should be the ones on trial here. Either Deloitte didn't get the information in which case they should have recommended that HPE walk away or buy for less. Deloitte did get the information and didn't pass it on to HPE, therefore, they are the guilty party or, lastly, Autonomy lied to Deloitte and therefore Deloitte didn't have the information and would have made an inaccurate recommendation to HPE.
TLDR; how come HPE are suing Autonomy (i.e. Lynch) rather than Deloitte...
