Information Technology

Whether you are providing or purchasing IT products and services, good contractual documents are essential. The main legal terms are only part of it, carefully thought out Service Level Agreements and Service Credit arrangements can all help to avoid future disputes, particularly by regulating customer expectations.

Disputes over whether or not the solution supplied complies with the specification agreed, benefit no one. Costs can quickly mount up, particularly where the project documentation make it difficult to identify just what was agreed. Comprehensive development contracts that properly link to specifications, and a carefully thought out change control procedure, can all help to avoid these kinds of disputes arising.

Whilst working in-house at the RSPCA, Julia Wylie worked closely with the charity’s Information Systems Department. In particular, Julia advised on the major projects involving the re-development of the RSPCA’s award winning website and the procurement of complex IT and telecoms equipment for the RSPCA’s new headquarters. Please see ‘Client Comments’ for comments from the RSPCA’s Head of Information Systems.
