ITNetGroup 'Best Practices'

ITNetGroup feels that the following standards and practices should be expected of quality computer consultants and we strive to follow these guidelines whenever possible.

ITNetGroup will use a letter of intent or written contract for all substantial engagements.
ITNetGroup will insure that issues of ownership and use of the work product are clear before starting the contract.

ITNetGroup, if unable to professionally complete part or the entire contract, will be forthright and will offer to aid the client in finding resources to complete the contract satisfactorily.

ITNetGroup will strive to avoid improprieties, as well as the appearance of improprieties.

ITNetGroup will either attempt to transfer the knowledge to the client or else suggest that the clients secure a backup source of long term support.

ITNetGroup will devote a significant portion of time in continuing education.

When using subcontractors, ITNetGroup will use a no compete clause to restrict the subcontractors from working directly with their clients for a specified period of time. If the prime contractor uses a non-compete clause in their contracts, the term of the non-compete should be one year or less.

ITNetGroup principals and employees will promote ethical behavior to other consultants as well as the industry in general.
