The current economic and environmental climate, budgetary constraints, the demand for better user engagement coupled with more sophisticated users and user devices as well as the exponential increase in available data has increased the need for flexible, future proof IT Solutions.
Many organisations are investing in emerging technologies to drive transformational change; streamlining internal processes and managing assets remotely, to aid efficiency and improve their customers/user experience.
We are working with public and private sector organisations, from housing associations, local authorities and the NHS to private sector construction and technology providers, to guide them in the development, sale, procurement and implementation of these emerging technologies, and to move away from traditional models of delivery and contracting.
Our team of experienced technology lawyers support all aspects of buying and selling ICT products and services with a focus on mitigating or removing those challenges, whether it be licensing of COTS software, development of new software, supply of Cloud services (SaaS, IaaS and PaaS) or the full outsourcing of ICT systems.
-
Given the nature of ICT, we have a team who are experienced and can support clients across markets whether you are:
- a private sector organisation selling or buying ICT;
- a public body, Social Landlord or third sector organisation procuring ICT or providing ICT to other organisations either as a shared service on as a service;
- an organisation developing either yourself or in collaboration with a third party development company software or other technologies to enhance your business or commercialise
Our team will be able to support you.
Of course the initial contracting is only the first element of deploying ICT and our team are experienced in supporting contract management (including performance/KPI management) of ICT contracts and where necessary assisting in contract renegotiations or advising on formal disputes.
