Most of us will already use cloud computing in our personal online lives. Many of us will already be using cloud computing in our working lives. This trend is set to grow.
Our commercial associates held a seminar about the legal and business implications of cloud computing focussing on the legal issues in respect of cloud computing for business users. This seminar provided insight into various cloud computing services and discussed the key legal and business issues you need to consider in contracting for and using cloud services. We also discussed the growing business trend of transitioning an organisation to a cloud computing environment.
