Against Technological Advice (ATA)
Against Technological Advice (ATA) refers to the scenario where a customer or user makes a deliberate decision to ignore or go against the professional recommendations or solutions offered by their technology advisor or provider. This decision may not align with the best interests of the business or the customer, and may increase the risk of technical issues, security breaches, or lost revenue.

Despite this, customers have the right to make their own informed decisions, based on a full disclosure of risks, alternatives, and the professional's expertise. The ethical and legal requirement is that the authorized technology professional has an informed consent discussion with the customer regarding their choice, and documents it.

It should be noted that going Against Technological Advice (ATA) does not absolve the technology professional from their professional duty of care towards the customer, but does not transfer any financial responsibility from the customer's decision on to the technology professional.
