Information technology (IT) and digital solutions are the backbone of most modern business activity and closely integrated with the company's business processes. IT-contracts, data protection and cloud services are core to all current business development.
We assist our clients in IT-sourcing and procurement processes and have market leading experience in software development and implementation contracts, outsourcing and cloud services. We work on all types of IT agreements and have assisted in the revision of the Government Standard Terms and Conditions for IT Procurement (SSA), which are the most frequently used IT model agreements in Norway even among private companies.
All companies process personal data. We have market leading knowledge and experience in all aspects of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We provide business oriented and practical advice to clients in IT-contracts, product development, GDPR compliance projects and data breach scenarios and with regard to data processing agreements and transfer of personal data to third countries.
