About the Book
"Nick's latest book bridges an important gap between the legal and technology worlds. His years of experience combined with an ability to distill difficult topics to simpler ones are a gift to the readers of this work." - P. Saggi (Microsoft).
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 significant revenues. However, when these wants are inadequately interpreted, captured or satisfied, complex civil litigation frequently results.
Nick H. Kamboj has authored one of the most comprehensive and practical books on the topic of business requirements. This book is targeted for litigators and legal professionals with the primary aim of gaining a favorable advantage in any IP, Tech or Cyber Law case. Readers are introduced to every aspect of business requirements, from initial best practice requirements gathering processes to common mistakes which are made along the way which expose your opponents weaknesses.
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. Kamboj illuminates each discussion with easy to understand analogies, real-world examples, graphical figures and powerful practical guidance. A detailed sample deposition as well as a highly detailed glossary provide additional support for any litigator under a time crunch to become familiar with the technical issues in a case, or to depose a technical Expert.
