Book Reviews for:

Information Technology Transactions:  Business, Management and Legal Strategies

(Pub. Thomson Carswell, Toronto, 2nd Ed. 2007, 368 pages, hard cover)

Author: Duncan C. Card, B.A., LL.B., LL.M., ICD.D
Managing Principal, Bennett Jones (Bermuda) Ltd.

“…The good news is that in a world filled with self-proclaimed gurus, Mr. Card is the real thing! In this sorely needed book, Mr. Card has identified the most common reasons for IT transactions/project delay, failures, liabilities and miscommunication, and then “deconstructed” these challenges to create thoughtful, time-tested and successful proactive strategies and tactics to avoid, monitor, and mitigate those project risks … he has boiled his experience into a practical, easy to read and absorb book, chock-filled with checklists that provide enormous and immediate take-home value.  Many of the systems and cases that I have worked on around the world … could have been avoided had the IT and legal teams applied and followed … Mr. Card’s wonderfully accessible and lucid tome.”

Warren S. Reid
co-founder & Managing Director, WSR Consulting Group, LLC*
renowned U.S. consulting firm specializing in  technology, e-business and litigation consulting

“…an excellent comprehensive reference and resource guide to help (transaction negotiators and lawyers) effectively manage the plethora of mission critical issues they encounter in their IT transactions.” 

Georgia Sievwright
Secretary, General Counsel & Director, Corporate Relations*
Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Ltd.

“…Card, an experienced navigator, offers an articulate roadmap that is designed to both guide the inexperienced and refresh the seasoned manager…Read this book and keep it by your side and you will be better positioned for project success.”

Barry Michael Fisher
V.P., General Counsel and Corporate Secretary*
SAP Canada Inc.

“…Mr. Card has provided the business community with an invaluable compendium on information technology transactions…repeated reference to the work will greatly assist all who are engaged in this endeavour to successfully and efficiently find their way to the desired result.”

John M. Baker
Former Sr. Vice President & General Counsel*
Air Canada

“The author has approached the complex topic of technology transactions from a practical user’s perspective and produced a readable and handy reference guide to the topic.  This book belongs among the essential texts in any in house counsel’s library whether they engage in technology transactions.  Its contents, as they are clearly arranged, are of benefit in any transactional context.  The last page lists three “most dangerous things that project managers can say about their technology transactions”. To that list, this reviewer would add a fourth: “We didn’t read this book.”

Anthony J. Sutcliffe
Vice-President and General Counsel*
Ricoh Canada, published in LEXPERT Magazine, February 2003

“Card’s ability to communicate complex issues into straightforward business language is a rare talent…he has succeeded brilliantly in providing (an) invaluable compendium on the massive topic of IT transactions.” 

Barry Clavir
Executive Producer*
The CIO Summit®

“Card’s new book tackles these issues from a practical perspective that will be useful, as the title suggests, to both lawyers and management…more than a simple “how to” book… each heading of a putative information technology agreement is analyzed in various degrees of detail.  This text does a superb job in setting out the necessities of planning, strategy, and negotiation, leading to a successful information technology agreement…a well organized, insightful, and easy-to-read book that fills an important niche for anyone engaging in information technology transactions.”

Michael E. Deturbide,
Associate Professor of Law,
Director of Law and Technology Institute*
Dalhousie University, published in the spring issue of the Law & Technology Institute’s Canadian Journal of Law & Technology

“IT law books tend towards two forms, those dealing with law and those dealing with practice…This problem tends to favour the production of practical IT law texts…It is a text high on insight and the author show(s) a great deal of knowledge (in his) field…The book is consistently rounded in its thinking and so forms a helpful ready reference for practitioners.  I would recommend it for busy practices…It is also sufficiently penetrable that many non-lawyers involved in the contracts field will find it a great help…it is a useful addition to IT literature addressing the practicalities of dealing in the field.”

Simon Briskman
Partner, Olswang
