In my last post, I wrote about a cloud platform (Rackspace) that made leaving its environment impressively difficult. So it makes sense now to explore ways companies can better prepare for an exit — and precisely how to exit when the time comes.
The problem is that few legal departments focus enough on exit details, especially when they just negotiated a new, long-term agreement. It’s not merely about getting easy permission to depart; it’s also important that IT ensures that any decisions don’t complicate things when it’s time to make a break.
