The Irish Internet Association Cloud Computing Working Group seeks to educate decision makers on the advantages of Cloud Computing while also cognisant of the disadvantages. It aims to support businesses to analyse the issues involved in transitioning their IT infrastructure from on premise to cloud applications and advise businesses on areas of concern such as availability, security and data protection. The group aims to clarify the objective opportunities beyond the hype.
It is intended that membership of the working group be split evenly between expert practitioners and business leaders (e.g. CTOs) from a variety of business sectors, including the finance, public sector, SME, tourism, media, technology and not-for-profit sectors. This will allow input from all stakeholders on issues pertaining to this area.
The Group will meet 2 to 3 times a year and will primarily work using Basecamp – an online collaboration tool. The number of members will be kept to 10 and if required the working group will be split into subgroups to work on specific tasks.
The group will be chaired by Gerry Power, Consultant, Sysco.
