Cloud computing, first and foremost, is providing great opportunities to quickly and with low budget implement new applications and services. Wether it was some collaboration tool with federated authentication for project members in various countries, or some data storage and access shared beyond frontiers - technology nowadays is more and more not the reason anymore why a company might not do this. But - what about the legal implications? Where are project data and personal information stored? Who has access from which country? Where are access decisions taken?

Dr. Jörg Hladjk will take you through the most important legal principles and talk about the main differences between different countries. After this 3-hour training you will know which questions to ask and you will have a better understanding of basic compliance strategies when implementing IT systems cross-border.
