Transition Management

The Problem for Companies engaged in Sponsoring Projects That Utilize a Third Party for Data Base Management may find that at some time during the Project it is necessary to replace the existing Data Base Management Company with another firm. The reasons for this may be failure by the original Data Base Management Company to perform the tasks it has contracted for, a loss of personnel by that Company, a lack of financial resources by the Company, a violation of regulatory rules and requirements or some other reason that makes it imperative that the Sponsor replace the Data Base Management Company.

The Risk is that the Process by which the Initial Data Base Management Company is Replaced is so difficult that the continuity of the Project is disrupted, and the replacement process results in problems that threaten the integrity and validity of the Project. Replacing one Data Base Management Company with another must be carefully monitored, and in some cases a Sponsor may continue with an existing but inappropriate relationship simply because it cannot manage the transition process.
