Licensee in Focus

Secure Your Software Investments

As a licensee, key questions about your software investments need to be answered: How critical is the soft­ware to your business? How can you protect yourself in the event of the licensor's insol­vency? Should source code be deposited with an escrow agent? We will also assist you with contractual questions of software implemen­tation and ensure that your support and main­tenance contracts precisely match your needs.

IT-Outsourcing

Your Guide Through the IT Outsourcing Process

The decision to outsource IT processes is often driven by multi­faceted motives: It may be the prospect of finan­cial savings or strategic repo­sitioning, especially when IT tasks beyond the core business are placed in the hands of expe­rienced partners.

Be it in the realm of Business Process Outsourcing, Managed Services Out­sourcing, Application Out­sourcing, or Infra­structure Out­sourcing – the common denomi­nator lies in the essential necessity of a solid contrac­tual basis when trans­ferring critical processes to third-party providers. Especially when out­sourced services flow into the offering to your customers, trust in the services of the out­sourcing provider is of elemental impor­tance. Out­sourcing not only ties up resources but also shifts some of the control functions out of your company. Therefore, detailed service descriptions, confiden­tiality clauses, provisions on liability, data pro­tection, service levels, and contrac­tual penalties, as well as agreements regarding the employed (key) person­nel, are indis­pensable compo­nents of a well-thought-out contrac­tual work – to name just a few, but central aspects. Depending on your sector, additional regulatory require­ments may become relevant.
