What are some of the key pitfalls of big data contracts and how can companies avoid them?

供应商合同始终是一个棘手的话题。您总是想保护自己或您的公司，但您也不希望受到如此严格的限制，以免供应商感到被束缚。就像敏捷开发方法一样，您希望您的供应商合同具有灵活性，以允许频繁的更改和调整，而不是失控的现金列车。

我还想建立一种方法，将项目中的主要危险信号带到桌面上并在小组中解决。它类似于举报人条款。如果有人认为正在做一些危险或有法律风险的事情，他们有一个明确的地方来解决该问题，并且该小组负责解决和记录该问题。这有助于双方减轻此类风险。

最后，您希望确保尽可能严格地解决信息管理问题。由于我们都是B2B，所以我们通常不会遇到很多个人信息，而只是商业信息。我们确实尝试以多种不同的方式解决信息管理和安全问题，以确保数据不会泄露、被盗或用于我们自己分析之外的任何用途，从而使我们的服务变得更好。
 

Vendor contracts are always a tough topic. You always want to protect yourself or your company, but you also don’t want to be so restrictive that the vendor feels handcuffed. Just like the agile method of developing, you want to have your vendor contract have the flexibility to allow for those frequent changes and pivots, without being a runaway cash train.

I also like to establish a way for major red flags with a project to be brought to the table and addressed in a group. It’s similar to a whistleblower clause. If anyone feels there is something dangerous or legally risky being done, they have a clear place to take the issue to be addressed and that group is responsible for its resolution and logging of the issue. This helps both sides mitigate that type of risk.

Finally, you want to make sure information management issues are addressed as tightly as possible. Since we do all B2B, we often don’t run into a lot of personal information, just business information. We do try to address the information management and security issues in many different ways to ensure data isn’t leaked, stolen or used for anything outside of our own analysis to make our services better.
