Technology Consulting Agreement
A technology consulting agreement is a professional services contract in which a consultant analyzes, recommends, or guides technology decisions for a client organization. Use this when a consultant advises on cloud migration, ERP selection, or security roadmap without being the implementer. It caps hours, requires client data access controls, and assigns deliverable ownership.
