All companies buy computer systems. Most of them cannot afford lawyers to review their contracts and those that have in-house contract managers often lack detailed expertise on IT and computer procurement. Dai Davis, one of Europe's leading experts on IT procurement and the law, provides a down-to-earth guide to help you ensure a smooth and dispute free process of contracting. The book covers the acquisition process, intellectual property, software, hardware as well as specialist processes such as leasing, outsourcing, disaster recovery and so on. Use it to minimise supplier exclusions, secure robust service, delivery and performance warranties, define ownership of the system and protect your hardware, software, support service and the continued smooth running of your whole organization.
