End-to-End Technology Contracting: Solving Risk, Process & Performance Gaps

Is your organization set up to get maximum value from its technology investments — while managing risk, compliance and rapid innovation like AI?

Join the MLT Aikins Technology, IP & Privacy Group and KPMG’s Technology Consulting team for a practical, half-day session designed for organizations that buy, build and rely on complex technology solutions. This high-impact program walks through the full technology contract life cycle — aligning legal, operational and commercial realities to help you strengthen outcomes at every stage.

From procurement to transition-out, we’ll explore how strong processes, smarter contracts and proactive governance can dramatically improve project success, reduce disputes and future-proof your technology ecosystem.

What you’ll learn:

• Procurement with purpose: How to structure sourcing and RFP processes that align business, IT, risk and legal priorities — including evaluating and contracting for AI-enabled solutions.
• Negotiation that drives results: Practical approaches to negotiating technology contracts that balance flexibility, compliance, security and commercial value.
• Implementation readiness & change management: How to set projects up for success through readiness assessments, governance models and clear contractual accountability.
• Vendor management & contract compliance: Tools and frameworks to operationalize contracts, manage performance and reduce risk across complex vendor ecosystems.
• Processes, controls & IT internal audit: How strong internal processes and audit-aligned controls support regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and AI governance obligations.
• Transition-out without disruption: How to plan for exits before you enter — protecting data, continuity and IP when relationships end or technologies change.

This session is built for business, legal, IT and procurement leaders who want practical, immediately usable insights — not theory. Expect real-world examples, cross-functional perspectives, and clear takeaways you can apply to your next technology initiative.

Whether you’re modernizing systems, deploying AI or rethinking vendor strategy, this program will help you identify and manage your risks through building stronger contracts, smarter processes and more resilient technology partnerships.
