Back for its second installment, the agenda for ACI’s 2nd National Forum on Cloud Computing has been completely updated this year to address the most pressing business and legal concerns in the industry.
Amorphous concept that is now beginning to gain traction, companies have begun to turn to cloud computing as a viable supplement to or even a complete replacement for their traditional software licensing models. Developed specifically to provide you with valuable guidance on how to structure agreements that will balance the business benefits with the legal risks of utilizing cloud computing as an IT services model, ACI’s 2nd National Forum on Cloud Computing will provide you with practical insights on how to tackle complex issues including data privacy, business continuity, standards of care and the allocation of IP risks in the cloud. Speakers at the seminar will include counsel from Oracle, LiveOps, iTegris, salesforce.com, Microsoft, Citrix, Matrixx, Hewlett Packard, AT&T, Symantec, Pfizer, SoftLayer, Visa, Chartis…
With an eye towards structuring agreements, this valuable seminar will show you how to balance the business benefits of the cloud model with the legal risks that are inherent in this non-traditional IT service model. Led by in-house counsel on both the buyer and vendor side of the cloud, the front-line private practitioners that are guiding corporations through the structuring of these contracts (and resulting litigation), and the federal and state regulators at the front line of data privacy enforcement actions, this conference will help make you aware of the issues your company should consider before you go to the table.
New topics for 2012 will include:
- A strategic discussion around balancing business benefits with costs and legal risks when moving to the cloud
- Emerging models in cloud computing agreements and a deep dive into the inherent differences in cloud contract models
- The licensing of public data aggregation tools and how companies are structuring business-to-business data exchanges
- Best practices to address uptime, business continuity, data manipulation, retention and recovery in the cloud

- Plus, an entire afternoon dedicated to data privacy and security issues in the cloud, including key lessons learned from the biggest data breach cases, how data breach insurance can factor into your company’s decision to move to the cloud and insights from key state and federal regulators
