Technology procurement can range from simple web site development through to large-scale business critical system implementations. Technology procurement, regardless of size, should be documented in an appropriate contract addressing issues such as licensing, delivery method (e.g. agile, waterfall), payment, IP ownership, liability and warranties.
In this talk, Edwin Lim will discuss the key elements of a successful technology procurement process with both software vendors and technology consultants and the key areas for negotiation in a technology contract from both a supplier’s and customer’s perspective.
