Pre-Conference Workshop: Best Practices in IT Solution Procurement
IT solutions, like payroll and finance systems, are often among the highest cost and complex acquisitions of any organization, affecting employees from multiple departments. Choosing the wrong supplier or failing to properly set out your requirements can lead to disastrous and costly mistakes and can often give rise to legal disputes. This is why it’s important to invest the time and effort in a well thought out procurement process.
Join Lise Patry of LXM Law as she leads Best Practices in IT Solution Procurement and outstanding guest speakers including:
- Vikas Bhardwaj, Associate Partner, Gartner Consulting;
