Join attorney Steven Brower and Warren S. Reid, founder and Managing Director of the WSR Consulting Group, LLC., as they discuss a "Systems Approach to IT Contracting" that, based on their own personal experiences and expertise, better serves many IT contract purposes. This approach crystallizes and documents the responsibilities and risks each party is willing (and able) to accept, the deliverables/deliverable quality each party will produce and approve, how to get a project back on track, and the remedies for failure to deliver.

Done properly with dedicated IT Contracting Teams, this approach to IT Contracting will generally produce much better contracts, stronger long term working relationships between the parties, and greater understanding and control over planning, developing, and managing IT systems and projects.
