NIS2 and the CIO are responsible: Which contracts do you need to have under control?

In manufacturing, IT is no longer a supporting function. It is the backbone of the operation. When systems fail, integrations don't work, or suppliers blame each other, it directly affects production, compliance, and continuity.  
 
Yet we see that many IT teams take on responsibility without real leverage. Agreements have evolved historically, SLAs are vaguely formulated, and risks quietly shift towards IT. 

That is why we are organizing this free webinar: “NIS2 and the CIO is responsible: Which contracts do you need to have under control?” On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 11:30 CET.

About

In manufacturing organizations, IT is the beating heart of operations. 
ERP, production software, cloud platforms, and specialized applications must work reliably 24/7.

On paper, that usually checks out. In practice, we see something different:

  • Applications lack features that were indeed sold.
  • Integrations work “partially” or constantly require workarounds.
  • SLAs and agreements turn out to be vague or hard to enforce.
  • Suppliers pass on responsibility.
  • Risks (compliance, security, continuity) increasingly fall on IT.

IT teams feel that something is wrong, but:

  • Contracts and commercial agreements have evolved historically.

  • Negotiating and enforcing is not part of IT's core tasks.

  • Escalating takes time, energy, and political space.

 

In this webinar, you will discover:

  • Why IT suppliers often do not deliver what was initially promised.
  • Where risks arise in agreements, SLAs, and contract structures.
  • Why this is not a technical problem, but a governance and supplier issue.
  • How you can strengthen your position against IT suppliers without switching vendors or causing disruption.
  • How other manufacturing companies regained control over performance and agreements.

 

What you will learn

We show how organizations:

  • Get more control over suppliers.
  • Enforce agreements.
  • Reduce risks.
  • And bring IT back under control, without adding extra complexity.

For whom?

IT Managers, IT Directors / Heads of IT, and IT Architects & those responsible for applications and platforms.
