client from hiring away your key employees. This type of project agreement also limits your liabilities in
the event the client should suffer losses due to your errors or omissions.
Other, separate contracts that systems integrators may need include:
Employment contracts
Network installation and maintenance agreements
Staffing and placement agreements
Subcontractor or independent contractor agreements
The latter are particularly important because they govern the relationship between you and any
subcontractors you may bring in on a project, clearly outlining who owns licenses and intellectual
property. This type of agreement can also prohibit your subcontractor from taking your client’s business
away from you, or from being hired away by the client.
