"Since A Guide to IT Contracting: Checklists, Tools, and Techniques first published, several alarming trends have developed in the technology contracting industry. These trends include:
The Dawn of the ""As-Is"" Technology Product
The Ever-Changing Product
Where in the World Is My Data?
To meet these challenges, the Second Edition helps business managers and lawyers explore alternate solutions from other vendors, conduct simultaneous negotiations with other vendors, and, generally, ensure prospective vendors understand they can ""lose the deal"" if they refuse to act reasonably.
Distilling the most critical business and legal lessons learned through the author’s decades of legal experience drafting and negotiating IT-related agreements, this single volume lets readers quickly access information on virtually every type of technology agreement. Structured to focus on a particular type of IT agreement, each chapter includes a checklist of essential terms, a brief summary of what the agreement is intended to do, and a complete review of the legal and business issues that are addressed in that particular agreement. Providing nonlegal professionals with the tools to address IT contracting issues, the book:
Contains checklists to help readers organize key concepts for ready reference
Supplies references to helpful online resources and aids for contract drafting
Includes a complete glossary that defines key legal, business, and technical terms
Technology contracting is becoming ever more difficult. This book is filled with recommendations to mitigate potential risk and makes clear the importance of maintaining negotiating leverage with potential vendors."
