The term Cloud Computing is bounded around to explain a number of new emerging trends and options available to the marketplace. Are they brand new solution or is it just a bundling together of different technologies that are in existence for many years?

Whatever your views are, we must not forget that in order for all this to happen the software development community play a significant role. You may ask yourself “Who are these people” ? “What are they working on”?  We are all familiar with the large corporate players in the Cloud space but through-out Ireland there are many wonderful indigenous companies successfully developing and deploying solutions in the Cloud. So let’s bring them and you together at the forth-coming EuroCloud Ireland Seminar  “Developing in the Cloud” to be held on Wednesday 20th October, at the National College of Ireland Campus in the IFSC from 2pm.

I’m pleased to announce that EuroCloud Ireland and The Irish Computer Society are organising a seminar on “Cloud Computing – Climate Change for Legal Contracts?” in the Clarion IFSC on Thursday July 1st at 7.45am with a repeat seminar at 10.30am the same morning. This event is being run in association with  Microsoft Ireland and Irish Software Innovation Network.

Philip Nolan, a partner and head of Mason Hayes+Curran’s Commercial Department, as well as being a board member of EuroCloud Ireland examines the legal implications of Cloud Computing for your business. He looks at its likely impact on your existing legal responsibilities and relationships. Philip will focus on how to address contractual matters such as service provider liability, data protection and retention as well as capacity/availability issues and their impact. Hugh Jones, an ICS Data Protection tutor and Michael Martin of the Irish Software Innovation Network will be joining Philip on the panel to participate in the Q&A.
