About the Book
"I've seen Nick Kamboj in action many times. Author, lecturer, and technologist - he does the kind of work you don't expect to see these days. He is a master at taking complex concepts and breaking them down to easily understood components. His book takes key elements of technology programs and explains them in plain language. I particularly enjoyed the section on depositions and how technologists try to hide behind overly technical terms." - Kevin O'Brien, Executive, Accenture Strategy
Nick H. Kamboj has authored a high-value and no-nonsense practical deposition book on the topic of business requirements. This book is an abridged version of Kamboj's Business Requirements: What Every IP, Cyber and Tech Lawyer Should Know! This text is targeted for litigators and legal professionals with the primary aim of deposing a Technical Expert Witness in any IP, Tech or Cyber Law case.
Business requirements are the "wants" of an organization's employees, user community, or members. When effectively understood, documented and technically implemented, these desires will result in organizational improvements and significant revenues. However, when these wants are inadequately interpreted, captured or satisfied, complex civil litigation frequently results.
Kamboj draws upon twenty years of technology implementation experience at the world's most influential and powerful organizations, to discuss the core foundation of nearly every computer, software, and hardware technology related case.
Written in clear language, Kamboj introduces legal professionals to compelling concepts, which are frequently overlooked in high stakes technology litigation. A highly detailed technical glossary provides any legal professional additional support on becoming quickly familiar with technical concepts.
