This seminar focused on possible changes to the legal and regulatory framework underpinning cloud computing and the emerging opportunities for business and governments, in the context of the European Commission's cloud computing strategy and issues emanating from the European Data Protection Framework (EDPF) Review.
Delegates considered emerging options to capitalise on the UK's regulatory and data protection regimes to attract investment in cloud services, data centres and startups as well as the cost to business of cloud migration. Sessions also focused on the challenges to the creation of the harmonised legal frameworks, SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and EUAs (End User Agreements) standardisation, and options to clarify cross-border legal jurisdiction challenges. The agenda also included discussion on next steps for public sector IT, following the launch of the second G-Cloud framework, 'G-hosting' consultation and considering the impact of the Government's 'cloud-first' and 'open standards' approaches.
