Rory Fazendeiro will be speaking at the webinar “Drafting and Negotiating SaaS Contract Agreements: Tips and Pitfalls” presented by the New England Corporate Counsel Association, Inc. (NECCA).

Software as a Service (SaaS) has become an increasingly popular method of software licensing and delivery to businesses of all sizes. It is estimated that in 2021, nearly 75% of businesses are using some form of SaaS delivery and spending in the range of $1k-$3k per employee to do so. Low costs, enhanced utility and accessibility to key business applications are among the many benefits of a web-based SaaS model. To fully leverage these benefits, in-house counsel should have a basic understanding of the functionality of SaaS, and the essential business and legal terms that are found in agreements with SaaS service providers.

This program will focus on:

• basic functionality, utility and benefits of SaaS as a software delivery model
• unique data use and security issues
• key business and legal issues to consider when entering into a SaaS agreement
