Technology in service
of the business.
The investment, contracts and information responsibilities behind a connected business.
Technology and telecommunications businesses operate through a network of platforms, licences, suppliers and customers. Adad advises on the Qatar legal arrangements that connect those relationships, from investment and procurement to service delivery and change.
Our work includes acquisitions and joint ventures, software and cloud agreements, outsourcing, telecommunications partnerships and data arrangements. We examine how the business earns revenue, depends on infrastructure and allocates responsibility for performance, intellectual property and information.
A service relationship should also address what comes next: expansion, integration, an incident, a change of supplier or an exit. We work with the client’s technical and commercial teams so that those provisions reflect the intended service and practical requirements.
THE COMMERCIAL CONTEXT
The business dependency
Identify the licences, platforms, infrastructure and supplier relationships required to deliver the service.
The customer commitment
Connect performance, availability, data, intellectual property and liability with the service promised to the customer.
The change in technology
Address migration, interoperability, incidents, supplier changes and exit before the business becomes dependent on a particular arrangement.
