Webinar On Demand - Moving to the Cloud - Workflow Heaven or Security Hell?

1 CPD Point – Practice Management and Business Skills

Many professional firms are looking to migrate their company data and IT systems away from in-house servers to the cloud. There can be many advantages to this, particularly in an era where working remotely is becoming a more attractive proposition for staff work/life balance.

There are however, several factors that need to be taken into account in moving your client data and systems to the cloud, and it is important to consider all potential issues before adopting cloud computing technology.

In this webinar, Moving to the Cloud – Workflow Heaven or Security Hell? David Shine from Office Information Australia will explore key issues surrounding IT in the cloud, including:

• How to transition into the cloud and potential integration issues;
• How to ensure you are using the right software; and
• What works best and (more importantly) what doesn’t work.

David will also touch on business issues, such as:

• Who owns the data?
• Issues surrounding the safety and privacy of your data such as:
  • Is it stored in Australia?
  • Is it protected?
  • What are other privacy concerns?
• How IT cloud services have changed firms’ practices.
• The need for other non-cloud IT services for business.

This webinar is designed for management and decision makers and their advisers rather than IT professionals.
