ISM Member Only Webinar: Top 5 Mistakes in Cloud and Software Contracts
Software licenses and cloud computing contracts play central roles in technology procurement. Yet many lawyers, contract managers, and procurement officers misunderstand their key terms, including the differences between on-premise software and cloud computing agreements. This session will examine five of the key clauses in IT contracts – each with its own typical mistake or misunderstanding. It will prepare contract staff to draft and negotiate better, faster, and with more confidence.
You will learn:
- Grasp the difference between contracts about on-premise software, on the one hand, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) and other types of cloud computing, on the other – and avoid contracting errors as a result.
- Negotiate and draft indemnity clause with fewer errors and less argument and in less time.
- Avoid common contracting mistakes related to data security, privacy, and other topics.
- For IT buyer staff, reduce the knowledge gap that gives vendor staff an advantage in IT negotiations.
- For IT vendor staff, grasp the key objections typical of sophisticated customers and learn to address them.
