How to Deal with IT Disputes and Avoid Disaster

Harnessing new technologies for information and communications growth inevitably involves IT&T systems and software procurement dependent on negotiation, completion, execution and delivery of complex, high-value contracts and projects.  Inevitably, many contracts and projects, once incepted, will get into difficulties, with allegations and counter-allegations of failures to deliver to time, cost and/or specification, poor operational standards of systems service or performance, and/or expansion or changes in requirements - the notorious 'scope and mission creep' phenomenon.  This presentation draws on many years of independent consultancy experience of, and forensic expert involvement in, such developments, in the context of failed, stalled, delayed and over-budget IT&T systems and software contracts and projects, in the UK and internationally, and the significant, and frequently costly, disputes, and litigation, that can then rapidly emerge.  Topics briefly covered will include:

the software and systems procurement disaster signals.

getting the IT&T contract right and avoiding runaway projects.

understanding IT&T contract monitoring, turnaround and dispute resolution techniques and processes.
