IBM’s Audit Rights Take a Turn for the Worse

Christopher Barnett Comments (0)

The software-audit language contained in IBM’s standard license agreements never has been anything that anyone would mistake for customer-focused or even very fair contract terms. However, in August 2014, IBM released a new version of its Passport Advantage Agreement (PAA)......

Well, our experience was a little unique in the sense that we had an unexpected re-organization of management mid-project on our end. With my entrance to the project, picking up the pieces produces a different customer experience. It would have been nice to have more conference calls to discuss documents and verify validity, legal views, etc. The calls we did have were informative and productive, just rare. The update process of getting docs hosted was extremely tedious. Lots of repeated emails, calls etc. I think if had this project from the beginning and got tasks completed on time for the team we would have had a better experience. At the moment having Scott and Scott for cyber services has me uneasy and I would like to improve the relationship between S&S and Heartland AEA.

So far, the process has been very seamless. Some minor issues with access to the tool/portal but using incognito mode seems to get us around most of that. The team has been awesome.

Rob is one of the rare few that successfully operates where the technology industry, business and entrepreneurship, and the law meet, making him an excellent resource for any company working at this unique intersection. As important, he wastes no time or words identifying the root cause of an issue and providing guidance that, without asking, takes the perspective of business, technology, and the law into account before ever being offered.

Have used Scott & Scott on a number of different issues over the past few years. They are simply excellent. You would not go wrong using them for your legal needs.

The Scott and Scott team were fantastic to work with. We wanted to revise our Agreements and streamline our contracting processes. Rob and his team were able to look over our current agreements, incorporate things that we felt were important in re writing the new documents. As well as add coverages for things that their years of expertise in this field have taught them that we overwise would not have thought of. I highly recommend. Thank you
