No matter where you look today, it’s hard to avoid the enticement of “cloud computing.” Whether it’s backup storage, electronic medical records or legal/accounting software, every vendor seems to have moved their operations to the proverbial “cloud.” What does it mean to use a cloud-based vendor and what issues are uniquely present in every contract involving cloud computing? Mr. Fox's presentation explored the importance of service level agreements, performance issues, privacy and security, indemnification, limitations of liability and warranties.
