The objective of this session is to give attendees an overview of the issues at stake when we talk about Cloud Computing and Big Data. Who owns the copyright? Is it safe to use the Cloud? What are my duties as a freelancer? What is illegal? What are good practices? What is forbidden? Do I need to choose a provider? What if I do not want to use the Cloud? Are there any security tips I should know? What are the threats? What are the strategies for success in the language industry within this new context?
This session will provide attendees with a clear idea of how Cloud Computing works for translators and will describe the way translation data fuels and empowers translation engines, without overlooking the challenges and risks when using such solutions. The presenter will also discuss the opportunities that the Cloud affords freelance translators in terms of productivity, quality, real-time communication, content sharing and added value. Each attendee will go home with an IT security strategy to implement and with a methodology to customise and adapt good practices in their own businesses in a practical way that works for freelancers. Finally, the Q/A session will be an opportunity to share and exchange with attendees.
