Key Considerations

  • Geopolitical Risk: Some vendors have operations in Ukraine. Evaluate business continuity plans and alternative delivery centers.
  • IP Protection: Ensure clear IP transfer clauses in BOT contracts. All code and documentation should transfer at project end.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Verify vendor experience with financial regulations (AML, KYC, securities laws) relevant to your jurisdictions.
