Information Governance Inside and Out

Businesses today operate across more geographic boundaries than ever before and as data travels globally, a company's compliance, risk, and data governance obligations become exponentially more complex. Data moving across public and private clouds also increases breach risk, and compliance regulators can stop projects in their tracks - sometimes with drastic consequences to the business.

How is information stored and managed in the cloud? A question every company should be asking when dealing with the privacy and security of information stored in the cloud. Join our panel of AvePoint experts, led by Dana Simberkoff, Chief Compliance and Risk Officer, to discuss data sovereignty and privacy in the cloud. With many factors to be taken into consideration, our panel offers tips and advice to help understand the existing or upcoming data protection laws in the EU and ways technology can keep your data safe in the cloud.

What does it mean to consume a technology “service” in today’s world? As a consumer, you can quickly download an app to cater to your needs. You take it for granted that your personal web mail is always available and constantly updated with new features. You can deposit a check, program your DVR, form and interact with social communities, as well as store and share huge amounts of files on cloud-hosted servers all with just a few flicks of a finger.

With that in mind, slow-moving IT service delivery with a focus on IT’s priorities will not cut it any longer. If internal IT departments are to remain relevant today (and tomorrow), they will need to evolve their service delivery to meet the expectations and demands that users expect: a delivery model based on availability, self-service, agility and business-focused productivity while ensuring compliance with corporate and regulatory policies.

In this session, we will examine the increasing sophistication of today’s corporate technology user. Then, we’ll suggest tools, concepts and processes that can help IT organizations adopt a more service-driven SharePoint offering driving productivity and governance.
