CLOUD COMPUTING 

Cloud Computing: Risky Business?

Cloud Computing is the latest mega-trend in the IT Industry and may seem like the way of the future, but like everything, there may very well be a catch. Often all that is relayed to the consumer is the features and benefits, but looking beyond these and into the fine print, there are risks involved that require careful consideration.

You're invited to an exclusive Roundtable event. 

 The ever changing market and every changing technology makes it all that much more important to stay one step ahead of the competition; often it means being up to date with bleeding-edge technologies.

 Cloud Computing is the latest solution that combats this, keeping the organisation ahead of the technological whirlwind and thus remaining competitive. However there are risks associated with Cloud Computing that are not always apparent from the outset. 

 Join us for this roundtable discussion to share your ideas and find out what your peers know and understand about Cloud Computing. 

You are invited to an exclusive Roundtable event.  The discussion is relevant to Chief Executives, Chief Financial Officers, Managing Directors, Business Continuity Managers, Risk and Compliance Managers, and all senior executives looking to understand and identify the “Risks associated with Cloud Computing.”

Rod Crowder, Managing Director of OpsCentre, will facilitate an open and unbiased discussion between participants; providing an opportunity to comment and discuss individual perspectives and share related issues and experiences with each other.   He will outline a number of action areas where senior executives can gain rapid traction on this important challenge.   

Our Round Table discussion topics include: 

Features and Benefits of Cloud computing

Data Visibility; who has access and how is it secured?

Where will your information be stored?

Compliance management and reporting

Legal issues associated with offsite hosting

What contractual terms are you agreeing to?
