Micron Helps Power a New Wave of High-End Computing Amidst the COVID-19 Crisis – Motley Fool
When Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) last provided a quarterly update at the end of March, question marks abounded. The memory chipmaker was showing signs that the cyclical slump it's been stuck in for over a year was coming to an end, but the global crisis brought on by COVID-19 put that recovery at risk.
It turns out just the opposite happened. Q3 fiscal 2020 results (the three months ended May 28, 2020) handily topped management's guidance, and Micron is back in growth mode again. With cloud computing, 5G wireless network buildout, and a new generation of gaming consoles and personal computing devices on the way, Micron sees sunnier days ahead.

Micron's Q3 results were dramatic. Management had called for revenue of $4.6 billion to $5.2 billion, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.40 to $0.70 a few months ago. The actual numbers ended up being far higher as the company was able to keep production flowing amid heightened demand for memory chips.

Though the bottom line remains under pressure on a year-over-year basis due to gross margin on product sold, the decline is easing. Micron has been able to keep expenses in check the last few months, largely thanks to a big cut in capital spent on its manufacturing processes. In fact, CEO Sanjay Mehrota said capital expenses on equipment were down 40% in the quarter compared to last year, although that figure is expected to rebound going forward as Micron gears up production for new tech (more on that in a moment).
Nevertheless, it's a notable accomplishment. Unlike in times past when demand for digital memory has taken a breather, Micron has remained in solidly profitable territory throughout this latest downturn. In addition to operating margin beginning to turn a corner and tick up again, free cash flow (revenue minus cash operating and capital expenses -- basically what's left over and gets added to or subtracted from the balance sheet) was $101 million, compared to $63 million last quarter.
Data by YCharts.
On the earnings call, Mehrota added that the pandemic has forced organizations across the globe to evolve quickly.
Technology solutions are rapidly helping society adapt and manage the temporary and permanent changes stemming from this pandemic. Clearly, certain trends that would have taken two to four years to develop have been accelerated into months. It is easy to see how these changes will drive higher consumption of memory and storage in the long term. The faster pace of digital transformation in the economy is here to stay.
Specifically, cloud computing has gotten a shot in the arm. Memory semiconductor sales for data centers were up double-digit percentages from just a quarter ago to help deal with the extra usage and storage capacity in recent months, brought about by increased demand for e-commerce, work-from-home technology, video streaming, and other cloud-based services. And while consumer devices -- especially smartphones and autos -- are weighing down the results overall, enterprise-level equipment demand has also surged as businesses get up-to-date with shelter-in-place orders.
Looking forward, 5G network development remains a work in progress, and a first wave of phones with 5G-enabling chips is expected to create a rebound for that beleaguered industry in the year ahead. And Sony's (NYSE:SNE) Playstation 5 and Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Xbox Series X, releasing this holiday season, should also be positives for Micron's consumer end-market.
Micron certainly isn't firing on all cylinders again, but the current business environment has clearly pulled the company out of a rut. The outlook for revenue in fiscal Q4 is $6.0 billion plus or minus $250 million (up 23% from a year ago at the midpoint), and adjusted earnings per share are expected to be $1.05, plus or minus $0.10 (up 88% at the midpoint).
As always, Micron's cyclical manufacturing business will remain a very up-and-down affair. But given the surging demand at the moment, this semiconductor stock remains a buy in my book.

Improving Internal Operations – RFID Journal
Jul 05, 2020The construction industry is all about getting things done in the most tangible way. From laying a simple foundation for a new house to erecting architectural marvels that seem to challenge the laws of physics, every day on a construction site ends with visible, measurable progress toward a defined goal.
But who defines that goal? Who decides what needs to be done, when, and by whom? Who makes sure equipment and consumables are at the site when needed, and are then returned promptly when used? Who crunches numbers to make sure costs are in line? That "who" is the collectiveand often unheraldedinternal operations staff. They are the back office, yard and warehouse teams who plan, manage, monitor and analyze every project from start to finish. Without them, no project could even be undertaken, much less successfully completed.
Yet too many construction companies fail to take full advantage of the talented staff who keep things running smoothly and profitably. As a result, global construction sector labor-productivity growth averaged 1 percent a year during the past two decades, compared with 2.8 percent for the total world economy and 3.6 percent for manufacturing. Less than 25 percent of construction firms matched the productivity growth achieved in the overall economies in which they work throughout the past decade, according to a McKinsey analysis.
Part of this shortfall can probably be explained by the nature of the construction industry. Historically, the industry grew up from tradespeople who knew how to buildand build wellbut were not educated about business or process. They relied on antiquated spreadsheets and back-of-the-envelope methods and were reluctant to adopt new technologies like cloud computing, RFID tracking, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and interconnectivity, at the expense of their companies' bottom lines.
Fortunately, that attitude is changing dramatically. The new generation of construction operators have a voracious appetite for technologywe talk to very few younger operators who are technology-averseand they not only grasp the fundamentals of operating an efficient business but are educated in business management and know the importance of their internal operations team in making the business maximally profitable. They understand that a connected business is a profitable business. To this new generation of construction industry leaders looking to optimize their internal operations, I suggest a four-step process:
Supply Chain AnalysisThe supply chain is more than just buying an item from a vendor. It's also the internal movement of equipment and consumables to worksites. So look at everything that moves, whether procuring from outside vendors or in-house transfers, and make sure that no step or item is omitted. Consider the whole loop from needing something to acquiring it and then deploying it. In construction, sometimes it can take two weeks to get an item back from the field; this process should be measured in minutes or hours, not in days.
Cost ReviewConstruction companies need to know the true costs for their projects so they can pass that expense on to their customer in the next billing cycle. This includes the cost of the tools used and that of moving them to the site and back. They need to develop solid processes that are supported by interconnected, accurate job cost and billing systems for each team that update in real time. Interconnectivity makes all teams more cost-effective because they're collaborating in the moment.
Data AnalyticsWith interconnectivity, a management team has instantaneous, comprehensive and accurate information to make vital decisions and improve performance in the field and in the back office. If you want to push your thinking, ask yourself, "What piece of data do I need to change my business?" Without reliable performance data, a company is flying blind.
New Technology AdoptionNew technologies relevant to the construction industry are growing rapidly, and they are changing how quickly companies can rise to the top. Look at all the new technologies that can support internal operations, as well as warehouse, yard and worksite operations. Every aspect of a construction company needs to be interconnected, and well-established technologies like cloud-based software and BLE resource location monitoring systems are essential to managing the overwhelmingly complex and time-consuming details involved in construction projects.
The overall idea is to connect internal operations so they contribute maximum efficiency in the field, resulting in increased profitability. As an example, oil field service company Saulsbury has done an amazing job of streamlining its internal operations using interconnected technology. In its warehouse, the company has large monitors showing what equipment is in the field, what is being delivered and what is being returned. All necessary information is displayed in real time on those status boards so staff members know exactly what is going on everywhere in the field, the warehouse, the yard and the entire supply chainas well as the instantaneous cost implications of every data point.
So by improving performance in the back office, you'll improve performance in the field. When all aspects of a company work within a single cloud-based system that is fast and accurate, you can reduce waiting times and phone calls, warehouse and yard operations can keep up with the speed of the project, and all processes can be streamlined so every request is fulfilled quickly and accurately.
As a construction industry veteran of more than 30 years, Don Kafka, the CEO of ToolWatch and a construction executive thought leader, has a lot to say when it comes to educating construction companies about the importance of internal operations to their overall productivity and profitability. Denver-based ToolWatch is a technology firm that provides tool and equipment systems to track and manage resources throughout an entire construction organization.

Here’s Why 2020 Belongs To Microsoft – Seeking Alpha
When the acronym FANG was created and later extended to FAANG, tech investing was dominated by mobile, advertising (led by mobile), over-the-top streaming and e-commerce. Today, tech stock investors would be remiss to not have cloud in their tech portfolio as the category has proven to be secular and insulated from economic drawdowns.
Microsoft is a central hub to the cloud trend with nearly every segment of its revenue driven by cloud except PCs/Surface and gaming, although gaming too will shift toward cloud. With Microsoft being nearly a pure play in cloud computing while boasting a $1.5 trillion market cap, the talking heads in media may need to find a new acronym.
Ive covered the sheer supply of cloud software companies potentially weighing on returns in the coming months as the market begins to sort the winners from the losers this year. There are likely to be cutbacks across all budgets and these COVID-19 cutbacks did not show up yet in the first quarter due to the limited, two-week exposure in March before companies started reporting (this lack of exposure in Q1 may seem obvious but the market has certainly not priced this in).
Meanwhile, Microsoft stands to benefit regardless of which cloud software companies pull ahead. Hundreds of cloud software companies crowd the public and private markets yet they all funnel into cloud infrastructure. This is the common denominator.
Satya Nadella made a bold statement in the last earnings call that the company had seen two years worth of digital transformation in two months. He cited a surge in demand from the structural changes due to companies quickly reorganizing.
The coronavirus shutdowns accelerated cloud usage from current customers yet the most important impact is that it forced slow-to-adopt companies and industries to migrate to the cloud overnight. These slower-moving companies are more likely to adopt a hybrid cloud strategy which is where Microsoft excels over the competitors.
My original thesis when I began covering Microsoft nearly two years ago was that the company would rival AWS due to its focus on hybrid cloud. Historically, Microsoft was built around on-premise and the company is well situated to assist in a more conservative slow migration, especially for enterprises with significant intellectual property or unique security concerns. According to a 2018 survey, the top reasons for using hybrid cloud include controlling where important data is stored, at 71%, and using cloud for backup and disaster recovery, at 69%.
Hybrid cloud allows for scenarios where customers can keep their most sensitive data on their own servers while sending workloads to the private or public cloud that gain an advantage from mining data more efficiently and require improved accuracy and productivity. Azures strength in hybrid computing has made it the main player in the industry with the product being used by 95% of Fortune 500 companies.
Microsofts Windows operating system has run on servers for decades, and it was a natural extension to offer Azure Cloud to run on-premise. Specifically, the companys presence in traditional on-premise deployments of server and SQL databases have propelled Azure forward as an obvious choice for public and hybrid cloud deployments. This is due to being the path of least resistance for on-premise to Azure.
This prompted my prediction that Microsoft would beat Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) in a contract for the Department of Defense and I believe Microsoft will win yet again from the coronavirus shutdowns for the same reason.
Azures strength in offering both on-premise and cloud in a hybrid solution has prompted Amazon to chase Microsoft with recent efforts to improve its hybrid strategy. According to a Goldman Sachs survey pre COVID-19, the majority of executives preferred Microsoft Azure over AWS. The survey is done bi-annually and Microsoft has been ticking upward in the results since 2017. With that said, AWS is capturing an estimated 200% more revenue than Microsoft on cloud infrastructure at $9 billion for AWS compared to $4.33 billion on Azure (per analysts).
Notably, the Goldman Sachs survey may not have taken into account that outside of the Fortune 500, AWS has a loyal startup and SMB following, and also is popular with agile enterprises that scale quickly, like Netflix and Facebook. Often times, these companies look outside Microsofts walled garden.
For comparison purposes, some of Microsofts offerings are cheaper than AWS while having a larger global data center footprint. In the most recent earnings report, Microsoft stated it had more data center regions than any other cloud provider. New center regions announced in this quarter are Spain and Mexico. It plans to invest $1.1 billion over five years in Mexico. In Spain it plans to open Azure regions and also expand its Telefonica relationship. This is especially helpful as compliance regulations require local data storage.
The story of the year may very well be cloud productivity apps. Microsoft Teams, though not exactly a verb, has been seeing rapid growth among Office 365 users. According to the recent earnings report, Microsoft Teams has increased 70 percent quarter-over-quarter to 75 million daily active users. This is up from 44 million daily active users in March. Perhaps even more impressive, Microsoft saw 200 million meeting participants in a single day in April.
This isnt to say that Microsoft Teams will wipe out competitors outside the Office software ecosystem but its certainly going to help the company protect its turf. Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) is likely to hold more mindshare as consumers also can enjoy HD video and office workers can share video links seamlessly outside of Microsofts enterprise walled garden. Slack (NYSE:WORK) is likely to lead on innovation as a developer and programmer favorite. After all, AWS is still in the lead over Azure and these customers will want a Microsoft alternative.
For the Fortune 500 and the 250 million who dont mind Microsofts walled garden then Microsoft Teams offers valuable collaboration features, such as sending files within the apps, and holding video or audio calls. As of now, 20 organizations with more than 100,000 employees use Teams with Accenture being the first company to surpass 500,000 users.
Beyond enterprise companies, Microsoft Teams also is seeing inroads into education and healthcare from the coronavirus shutdown. According to the fiscal Q3 earnings call, more than 183,000 educational institutions rely on Teams with an emphasis on global education, including the United Arab Emirates, which has more than 350,000 students using Teams, and Italy, which moved over 80,000 students to Teams in just three days.
The healthcare industry has 34 million users on Teams, including in New York and in the UK. Microsoft also launched its first industry-specific cloud offering that allows organizations to work horizontally across apps, like Dynamic 365 and Azure IoT, for virtual visits, chatbot assessments, and remote health monitoring.
The CDC and various healthcare systems are using the Microsoft Health Bot Service to build and deploy AI-powered virtual assistants that reduce the workload on emergency services. As of early April, about 1,200 instances of COVID-19 bots had serviced 18 million individual users and served 160 million messages.
Microsoft also expanded Teams recently with the Booking app, which allows healthcare providers to schedule, manage and conduct provider-to-patient virtual visits with Teams. Depending on the size of the organization, this could be a competitor to Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC).
Microsoft has many inroads into cloud and is nearly omnipresent in this category. There's a halo effect that allows for upgrades into premium products and increased renewals. When it comes to industry-specific data needs, such as health care, Microsoft also will be a strong competitor for its experience in strict compliance across data-driven environments. I believe Microsofts biggest strength will take center stage this year, which is massaging the more conservative enterprises to adopt cloud with hybrid architectures. Teams, as well, could not be in a better position to strengthen the walled fortress.

Rural Cloud Initiative seeks to bring the edge to rural America – RCR Wireless News
A new initiative aimed at bringing cloud-based edge computing capabilities to far-flung rural locations is gaining steam, having gathered more than three dozen network providers and application partners in support of an edge ecosystem to serve rural industrial and smart agriculture use cases.
The Rural Cloud Initiative, spearheaded by Trilogy Networks, announced this week that it has formalized partnerships with 26 network providers and 11 edge innovation partners and put together its first farm of the future. Trilogy Networks has been in business for five years and has built a nationwide private network; it works with rural network providers to move their traffic around the country. According to Trilogy co-founder and CTO VenkySwaminathan, The goal is really around how we can bring the next generation of applications to this marketplace through partnering with network operators and other rural technology providers who can provide physical locations for edge computing resources, and bringing them together with other tech and application providers to provide tailored solutions for the rural market.
Participants in RCI include network providers Inland Cellular of Idaho, Pine Belt Communications of Alabama, United Wireless of Kansas and more; its edge innovation partners include Intel, edge company Vapor, open RAN specialist Altiostar and satellite operator Intelsat, among others.
Much of the industrial internet of things will play out in a rural context, said Nancy Hemswell, COO of Trilogy: in precision agriculture, oil and gas fields, long-haul transportation and even telemedicine.
Rural territory really jumps out as a fertile ground for this sort of transformation, she said, both because of the applications for the industrial internet of things and to increase farm productivity over the coming decades as well as to address the more immediate issue of the federal governments plan to spend $1 billion to support the removal of Chinese gear in rural mobile networks.
Now youre not looking at the subscription of data and how much traffic youre putting on a cell phone or even on Netflix, but more, how do I connect these robots, these sensors, these drones? Hemswell continued. And does that become a dollar a device, $10 a device, two cents a device? We dont know. The whole evolution, or revolution, is taking place in the market today. The connection of millions or even billions of devices potentially removes the limited population as a constraint on rural network investment and return, even if the connection cost per device is a fraction of what it would be for a smartphone.
The rural market is rife with IoT devices critical to industries like agriculture and the digital oilfield, said George Woodward, CEO and co-founder of Trilogy Networks. Supporting this transformation will require the deployment of connected devices at the network edge that will enable new business models for both network operators and rural industries. While others are talking about it Trilogy and our RCI partners areproving that both the technology and business value of edge solutions is provable, scalable andrepeatable across a number of use cases and vertical applications.
At Hurst Greenery, a multi-location garden center in Missouri, with 16 greenhouses and 600 acres of corn and/or soy beans, Trilogy is deploying distributed cloud assets with real-time data processing capabilities to showcase the locations as a farm of the future. Trilogy said that its ConEx edge delivery platform will be deployed across four locations, including sites operated by RCI partners IAMO Communications, Chat Mobility and Farmers Mutual Telephone Company. The site will include a private LTE network using CBRS spectrum and Intel tech, with Trilogy and fellow RCI partners Pluribus Networks, ClearBlade and Lanner heading up the deployment. Applications at work will include real-time data control and decision-making of connected devices via crop tracking, inventory management, and connected-device-based temperature and humidity monitoring. The deployment is aimed at increasing overall efficiency and yield through reducing energy costs, spoilage, insurance and human resource costs, the RCI partners said.
RCI is also highlighting its potential with a digital transformation showcase at the New Continuum WestChicago NAP data center, with a setup that supports internet offload, rich media streaming, AI-based network capacity planning and AI-based video analytics. That installation is supported by RCI partner AlefEdges Software-Defined Mobile Edge (SD-ME) platform, deployed onTrilogys ConEx edge delivery platform with private network access, along with direct Internet peering from United IX. Trilogy said it worked with Intel to develop the solution, which it described as having a 5G like experience that is a vast improvement in video performance over traditional networks.
Also this week, RCI established ACRES, or the Advisory Council for Rural Edge Solutions, with members who have experience at a national level both in rural network operations or in edge technologies and advocacy for one or both.
Within rural markets, there is clearly demand for services running at the edge and the adoption ofadvanced LTE and 5G will only drive that demand further, said Caroline Chan, VP and GM of Intels Network Business Incubator Division and a member of the RCIs ACRES leadership council. RCI is bringing together organizations that are able to contribute at every stage of the edge computing value chain. This provides meaningful opportunities for leading technology providers to help spur digital transformation across rural America through a viable, scalable and repeatable model that addresses this unique market.

Amazon Web Services is creating its very own space force for cloud computing – GeekWire
AWS Ground Station makes use of satellite ground stations. (AWS Photo)
Amazon Web Services today unveiled a new business unit devoted to developing data infrastructure and cloud services for the aerospace and satellite industry and headed by someone who helped set up the U.S. Space Force.
The Aerospace and Satellite Solutions business segment will be headed by retired Air Force Major Gen. Clint Crosier, former director of Space Force Planning.
We find ourselves in the most exciting time in space since the Apollo missions, Crosier said in todays announcement from Amazon. I have watched AWS transform the IT industry over the last 10 years and be instrumental in so many space milestones. I am honored to join AWS to continue to transform the industry and propel the space enterprise forward.
The unveiling was announced by Teresa Carlson at the AWS Public Sector Summit Online. Whether on Earth or in space, AWS is committed to understanding our customers missions, she said.
Amazon Web Services started down the road to space-centric cloud computing a year and a half ago when it established AWS Ground Station, a cloud service designed for satellite owners and operators.
AWS Ground Station has been building up a network of literal ground stations for satellite communications, as well as a portfolio of customers ranging from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory to Capella Space, a provider of on-demand satellite radar imagery. Today AWS highlighted Capellas move to go all-in on its infrastructure, including AWS Ground Station as well as ground-based cloud services.
We are redefining what is possible in the satellite industry, and reducing the cost and time required for organizations to benefit from satellite data, Capella CEO Payam Banazadeh said in a news release.
Walter Scott, executive vice president and chief technology officer for Maxar Technologies, said AWS is providing the foundational building blocks for its satellite data system.
This new AWS business will support Maxar as we launch our new WorldView Legion satellites next year, which will triple our 30-cm imagery collection and greatly increase our currency and scalability for government missions and commercial use cases, Scott said.
AWS Carlson said the world is entering an exciting and daring new age in space, highlighted by initiatives including space-based IoT and Earth observation services, low-latency satellite internet services and NASAs Artemis campaign to send astronauts to the moon.
She promised that the new aerospace and satellite business unit would work with customers and partners to reimagine space system architectures and launch new services that process space data on Earth and in orbit.
Amazon and its billionaire founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos, have a couple of other ventures in the works to capitalize on the final frontier.
Last year, Amazon revealed that its working on a venture called Project Kuiper that aims to put thousands of satellites into low Earth orbit to provide global internet access. Then theres Blue Origin, Bezos privately held space venture, which is developing a suborbital spaceship called New Shepard, an orbital-class rocket called New Glenn and a lunar lander called Blue Moon.
For now, AWS new business segment supports Project Kuiper and Blue Origin as customers, just as Amazon.com is treated as a customer. Looking longer-term, those efforts have additional potential for two-way synergy, with Kuiper conceivably providing satellite resources for cloud services and communication, and Blue Origin providing the means to get that hardware into space.
Competitors to AWS space force would include SpaceX, which already has hundreds of satellites in orbit for its Starlink broadband data network; and Microsofts Azure cloud computing platform, which has been working on space-related services with partners including NASA and SES, one of the worlds top satellite network operators.

The article includes legal assessments for institutions thatreceive data storage services through cloud computing systemsregarding whether there is an obligation to keep data in storagecenters domestically within the scope of data storage services tobe received through cloud computing systems.
Cloud computing systems are preferred by many sectors due totheir great advantages. However, due to the cyberattacks faced, thedata is stored in a distributed manner through cloud systems.Within the framework of the article, the provisions of the severallegislation requiring the necessity of having the cloud computingservices to be served to companies in the country has been examinedin accordance with Turkish Law.
First of all, the definitions of primary and secondary systemsare briefly given below, as they will be frequently mentioned inthe relevant legislative provisions. "Primarysystems" is defined as a whole system consisting ofinfrastructure, hardware, software and data, which ensures that allnecessary information required in order to fulfill obligation ofcompanies aroused from relevant legislation that can be recorded inelectronic environment and can be used available for any time."Secondary systems" is defined asbackup systems of primary systems which provides sustainabilityduring the possible interruption in activities carried out throughprimary systems.
Regulations on the usage of cloud computing systems by companiessubject to Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency("BRSA"), have been issued in accordancewith the Directive on Banks' Information Systems andElectronic Banking Services("Directive") published Republic ofTurkey Official Gazette ("OfficialGazette") dated 15.03.2020 and numbered 31069.
In the 1st (first) paragraph of the 25th(twenty-fifth) article of the Directive titled "Primaryand Secondary Systems", it has been made compulsory forbanks to have their primary and secondary systems domestically.
In the 5th (fifth) paragraph of the relevant article,the limits of the provision have been determined for the banks asbelow:
"In case of getting external service or cloud computingservice for an activity that is within the scope of primary orsecondary systems, the information systems used by the externalservice provider to carry out the activities related to the itsservice and their backups are also considered within the scope ofprimary and secondary systems and are keptdomestically"
Banks are able to benefit from cloud computing systems asexternal service vehicles provided that these systems are keptdomestically in accordance with the provisions of theDirective.
Although the afore-mentioned Directive was published in theOfficial Gazette on 15.03.2020, it will come into force on01.07.2020 in accordance with the 46th (fortysixth)article of the Directive.

Within the scope of the 16th (sixteenth) article titled"Limitations Regarding Information Systems" ofthe Communique on Electronic Money Institutions and PaymentAgencies, primary and secondary systems of paying agencies andelectronic money institutions must be kept domestically, as inbanks. Therefore, in case that electronic money institutions andpaying agencies store data as an external service through cloudcomputing systems, data centers must be kept domestically aswell.
Another area with legal restrictions on data storage abroadthrough cloud computing systems is regulated for companies subjectto the control of the Capital Markets Board("CMB"). The
Information Systems Management Communiqu (VII-128.9)("Communique") has been issued in theOfficial Gazette dated 05.01.2018 and numbered 30292 which is madeby CMB have been put into order for companies subject to thecontrol of the CMB to fulfill its duties arising from the CapitalMarkets Law No. 6362 ("SerPK") andrelevant legislations regarding the obligation of storage ofdata.

Within this framework, companies subject to the CMB are alsoobliged to have their primary and secondary systems domestically.Thus, the restriction to be applied within the scope of theCommunique will also be applied if data is stored through cloudcomputing systems. As a result, within the scope of the aboveactivities, data storage through cloud computing systems can onlybe carried out domestically.
Communique on Management and Control of Information Systems ofFinancial Leasing, Factoring and Financing Companies("Financing Companies Communique") hasbeen issued on Official Gazette numbered 30717 and dated 06.04.2019regarding the information systems used by financial leasing,factoring and financing companies in the scope of Law No. 6361 onFinancial Leasing, Factoring and Financing Companies("Law No. 6361")

Canada – Cloud Computing Forecast and Perspective: Sunny, with a chance of Growth – Lexology
While the benefits of cloud computing have been well documented in recent years, volatile conditions currently experienced as a result of COVID-19 have further highlighted the flexibility inherent in the use of cloud infrastructure. Market reports estimate that the global impact of COVID-19 on cloud market size is expected to increase from USD 233 billion in 2019 to USD 295 billion by 2021[1]. Similarly, in a recent industry survey on cloud usage, more than 50% of participants indicated that their cloud usage will be higher than initially planned due to COVID-19[2]. It seems that now more than ever, the reality of remote work places, business continuity implementation, and collaboration efficiency has caused organizations to implement cloud computing as part of their IT infrastructure.In evaluating the risks and practicality of implementing cloud computing, private sector organizations operating in Canada should consider (i) applicable privacy laws, (ii) any existing contractual limitations, and (iii) industry specific regulations and/or guidance from regulatory bodies, if applicable.
Privacy considerationsGenerally speaking, the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) covers how businesses collect, use, and disclose personal information in the course of for-profit, commercial activities across Canada, except in provinces that have adopted substantially similar privacy legislation (namely Qubec, British Columbia, and Alberta).While PIPEDA does not contain provisions that explicitly regulate cloud services, and does not prohibit the processing of personal data by third parties, including processing across borders, it does establish rules governing the use of third parties in processing personal dataparticularly with respect to obtaining consent for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information, securing the data, and ensuring accountability for the information, and transparency in terms of its practices.Transferring organizations should consider what information will be stored in the cloud and why, further taking into account the sensitivity of the personal information and carefully assessing all the risks and implications involved in outsourcing personal data to the cloud. Similarly, organizations should consider potential data security issues when evaluating a cloud provider and negotiating contracts or reviewing terms of service. In implementing cloud infrastructure, the organization is still accountable for the information at the hands of its service provider, and as such, should use contractual or other means to provide a comparable level of protection while the information is being processed and stored by the third party.Organizations using cloud computing services should (i) limit access to the information and restrict further uses by the provider, (ii) ensure that the provider has in place appropriate authentication/access controls, (iii) manage encryption methods and determine if the encryption method is adequate, (iv) ensure that there are procedures in place in the event of a personal information breach or security incident, (v) ensure that there are procedures inplace in the event of an outage to ensure business continuity and prevent data loss, (vi) ensure periodic audits are performed, and (vii) ensure the termination procedures permit the transfer of personal information back to the organization and require that the cloud provider securely delete all personal information within reasonable and specified timeframes.To the extent that personal information is stored on servers outside of Canada, organizations should also ensure that data subjects are able to assess any risks associated with cross border transfers. Organizations need to make it plainto individuals that their information may be processed in a foreign country and that it may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction.Contractual considerationsAlso relevant are contractual obligations that may restrict or limit an organization's ability to use third party service providers. In considering moving to the cloud, organizations should review and consider its contractual obligations to ensure that confidentiality and data security provisions do not limit or prohibit the sharing of certain data with service providers. Some common contractual terms that may be relevant are the obligation to provide notice or obtain consent when onboarding new service providers, and/or the requirement to ensure that third party service providers maintain adequate levels of insurance coverage.Industry specific considerationsAlso potentially applicable within certain industries, are industry specific guidance documents established by regulatory bodies. As an example, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ("OSFI") has published the B-10 Outsourcing of Business Activities, Functions and Processes guidelines, which set out OSFI's expectations for federally regulated entities, such as banks, that outsource to a service provider. While such guidance documents may not regulate the implementation of cloud computing specifically, they may capture outsourcing arrangements generally, and as such, should be considered by organizations, if applicable.
