AI Vendor Transition Playbook for Procurement Teams

Procurement teams often control contract timing but not technical cutover risk. This playbook aligns legal, engineering, and operations on one transition operating rhythm.

Implementation Steps

  1. Define transition runway and fallback contract protections before migration starts.
  2. Assign one accountable owner per phase across commercial, technical, and security workstreams.
  3. Track weekly cutover readiness with quality, SLA, and cost-fit evidence.
  4. Publish exit closure packet with audit-ready contract and data offboarding artifacts.
