With promises of strong return on investment, low overhead and rapid application deployment, Software as a Service (SaaS) and ASP applications have begun to skyrocket in popularity. Solutions for customer relationship management, payroll, human resources, and many more are all available on-demand with SaaS delivery model.

But as compelling as these advantages may be, you need to think, "Is my SaaS covered?"

Many firms leave their businesses exposed to serious risks by failing to build adequate protections into their SaaS and ASP subscription agreements for their mission-critical applications.

This session expands on the topics introduced by Iron Mountain and IACCM during last year’s webcast –  Mitigating the Risks of Engaging in a Software as a Service (SaaS) Relationship – that attracted over 200 intellectual property and contract management professionals. Speakers present an industry update including perceptions and attitudes toward SaaS adoption and will also prepare you for how to respond to existing and future SaaS engagements.

Attend this session and learn how to:

• Establish guidelines to safeguard your company in the event a SaaS or ASP provider is unwilling or unable to continue operations.
• Account for business risks caused by prolonged outages or service disruptions.
• Restore access to the SaaS application and your data in the event of a significant outage.
• Negotiate and execute a well-worded SaaS escrow agreement

Attendees will receive THINKstrategies new white paper: Leveraging Escrow Agreements to Safeguard Your Business from the Risks Associated with Software-as-a-Service.
