Seminar to support Wiltshire businesses
knowledge of Cloud technologies
Wiltshire businesses are being offered the opportunity to grill legal and IT professions
about the workings, benefits and risks of Cloud computing. The seminar is being hosted
by Thrings law firm and independent IT consultancy Nubo Consulting. The event will
attempt to demystify the phenomenon of Cloud computing- the management and
provision of applications, information and data as a service over the internet.
The event is being hosted at Thrings’
offices on Drakes Meadow, Swindon on
Wednesday 14 May. Presentations will
be given by Kate Westbrook, Corporate
Partner at Thrings, and Adrian White,
CEO of Nubo Consulting. The seminar
will provide attendees with independent
guidance about Cloud-based computing,
advise end users about the best solution
and explain, in basic terms, the legal
commercial and technological implications.
The seminar is open to firms of all sizes
and sectors, including start-ups seeking
advice on their current IT strategy, to larger
and more established companies looking to
rationalise their existing infrastructure
by entering the Cloud. Topics under
discussion include:

• Managing the implementation of
Cloud computing
• Transitioning current IT systems to
the Cloud
• Advising on the best solutions
for the end-user
• Data protection
• Exiting from a Cloud service
