2015 Annual Conference of the Wisconsin Association of Corporate Counsel: Legal Issues in IT Outsourcing Transactions

Andrew will co-present "Legal Considerations in IT Outsourcing Transactions: Offshoring, Nearshoring, Onshoring."

About the presentation

Corporations increasingly are outsourcing internal functions in an effort to achieve significant cost savings and related benefits. According to Gartner, corporations engaged in over US$300 billion worth of ITO (information technology outsourcing) transactions in 2013 alone with the value of BPO (business process outsourcing) deals running a close second. While outsourcing offers many benefits, companies must be careful to manage the complex legal risks inherent in these deals. This presentation will provide an overview of outsourcing deals and key legal issues for in-house counsel to consider in managing the transaction including: due diligence; intellectual property rights; service level assurances; employee rebadging and related HR matters; data privacy & security; initial transition (cut over); disengagement (exitplan); step-in rights; benchmarking and more.
