La innovasjon slippe til hvis du tør!

Per er “nyskjerrig-per” og har en iboende interesse for nye måter å løse gamle problemer på gjennom bruk av ny teknologi. Dette ledet etterhvert til satsingen i en skytjeneste fra Google som etterhvert skulle vise seg å bli testet som en prinsippsak hos Datatilsynet. Høsten 2012 fikk Narvik kommune brev fra Datatilsynet om at saken var avsluttet. I ettertid har Per holdt en rekke foredrag om kommunens satsing i skyen med formål å bre kunnskap og inspirasjon til andre: “Risikovurdering ved implementering av innovative teknologi-løsninger er et sentralt tema som må ha høy oppmerksomhet når fremtidsrettet innovasjon skal ha grobunn”.

Skyen som et strategisk verktøy for kontroll og optimalisering av tekniske anleggsmidler

ICS besluttet våren 2010 å investere i utvikling av et nytt kjernesystem for Asset Lifecycle Management. Systemet skulle tilgjengeliggjøres for ICS’s kunder og partnere som en webbasert Software as a Service løsning. For en liten organisasjon som ICS uten egen IT avdeling eller IT infrastruktur var dette en større utfordring. 

I dette foredraget vil Geir Bjerkemo og Anders Bjørnestad fortelle hvordan de klarte å realisere dette prosjektet i løpet av 12 måneder med bistand fra Webstep og en skybasert infrastruktur.   

Data protection and data in the cloud

Data protection legislation is important in Norway, the EU and around the world - how does it affect data stored in the cloud? What are the laws like today and how are they changing? For example, the new EU Data Protection Regulation should be published this year and everyone who has data on EU citizens has to conform. Hear how the legislation is being strengthened from today’s directive; how it impacts cloud data, your new responsibilities, the increased fines, the overall impact on business, IT and compliance as well as users and the actions recommended to ensure you are compliant. The presentation will look at the history of EU data protection and today’s directive, what it means for sensitive personal data stored in the cloud and how organisations can meet the technical requirements in the new regulation.
