If you use American tech, your data is subject to Trump's whims
Many of the technology and cloud services employed by organisations in Ireland are provided and hosted by technology giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These companies, while offering impressive technology, are US-based organisations and therefore are primarily governed and answerable to US laws. Picture: AP/Julia Demaree Nikhinson
Technology, and in particular cloud computing, has transformed how we live, work and do business. From small rural business to large financial and government institutions across the country, many Irish organisations rely on computer, technology, and the cloud for everything from communicating, to collaborating, and to storing and sharing files and information.
These technologies bring many advantages to businesses from productivity increases, cost savings, increased flexibility, and the ability to reach a global market from almost anywhere in Ireland.
