In today’s business world, there are no longer simple machines or inexpensive equipment investments, and often the related services are more essential than the original hardware and equipment. Clients who are purchasing or leasing equipment rely on key configuration requirements, interoperability with other systems and databases, reliable uptime, and immediate maintenance and support. Vorys lawyers advise our clients on identifying and structuring key deal points to meet such needs:
- Business-friendly fee models and leasing considerations
- Clear specifications for installation, integration, and configuration
- Testing procedures and acceptance criteria
- Training of in-house staff
- Disaster recovery
- Repair, maintenance, and help-desk support
- Service level commitments, for both uptime/downtime and repair time
- Transition strategies, both at the purchase and at the end of useful life
In addition, in connection with corporate acquisitions, mergers, and sale transactions, our attorneys have helped our clients to identify, transfer, and obtain key rights to technical equipment and computer software and hardware systems.
