 TAG Finance Legal Priorities Seminar

Strict data protection and data privacy regulations, intellectual property protection and human resource practices are some of the key priorities today’s high-tech executives must balance in managing their organization’s legal priorities.  These were among the key discussion points at a management seminar held November 11, 2008 by the Technology Association of Georgia’s (TAG) Finance Society.  The seminar was titled: “Defining your High-Tech Organization’s Legal Priorities.” The seminar was geared to executives facing the challenge of balancing the many legal priorities they face.   

“Whether you’re an early stage company or a mature organization, high tech executives need to understand the changing playing field of legal standards,” noted Don Campbell, President and CEO of Virtual Management Technologies, and Moderator of the Seminar. “The legal standards for data protection and privacy, for example, have evolved rapidly over the past year and executives need to understand how these changes will impact their business.”

TAG Finance Evaluates the Economics and Strategy behind Software as a Service

TAG Finance sponsored a seminar on one of the newest, yet oldest, technologies available to organizations today – Software as a Service (SaaS). Why the oldest?  SaaS has similar underpinnings to the 1960’s and 1970’s when application time-sharing was the least expensive way to gain access to administrative applications such as payroll and accounting for many organizations.   SaaS delivers as similar model wherein mid-sized organizations can get the power of sophisticated and feature-rich applications delivered via the web.  Key panelists such as Jeff Pyden, Managing Director of OmniVue Business Solutions and Alan MacLamroc, Chief Product and Technology Officer at CDC Software discussed the state of the industry in delivering viable SaaS solutions.  To review the TAG Finance presentation please click here.
 

Is your organization secure – enterprise wide?

“39 percent of executive decision makers at Fortune 100 companies labeled IT Security a significant concern and Enterprise Risk Management as their number one concern over the coming 12 months,” according to Rodney Deli-Gatti, Accretive Solutions, a national professional services firm with over 1,100 professionals.  Building a security model that supports the organizations entire footprint is critical in managing today’s multi-location and international businesses.  TAG Finance sponsored a seminar that highlighted many of the issues executives believe today are impacting their success and ability to grow profitably.  The seminar presented a security model that is business focused, in which business is driving and IT is supporting. “The key is taking a long term strategic approach that carefully aligns Information Security,” says Mr. Delli-Gatti.  “The governance, risk and optimization model must encompass a holistic approach.” For a copy of the TAG Finance presentation, please click here.
