According to a recent survey one in seven organisations are still unprepared for GDPR, this workshop will be focusing on how the new legislation will affect you and your organisation.  You may have heard a lot about GDPR already, maybe you aren't really sure what it’s all about, or perhaps you haven't heard about it at all?  But if you and your organisation capture, handle, store, or share any kind of personal data, then it’s actually something you really need to know about sooner, rather than later and this free workshop can provide some vital information.   .

 

What is the GDPR?

GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation is a new set of EU regulations set to come into force, as a replacement to the existing Data Protection Act.  While it builds on existing Data Protection legislation, it represents a significant change for organisations that hold and process personal data.  The regulations don't come into force until May 25th 2018, but there’s plenty of things organisations need to check or put in place before then.

 

Who will it affect? 

If your organisation holds personal data, whether in the form of contact information or any other type of personal data (for example, contact information, details about ethnicity, religious belief, bank account or credit card information) elements of the new regulations will apply.  Every organisation within the EU must comply and even with Brexit, organisations within the UK will still have to comply with the regulations when they come in to force. 

 

Who needs to know about it? 

Everyone in your organisation needs to know about GDPR and ensure that they have been given clear guidance on the regulations and procedures that need to be in place for due diligence.

Come along to our workshop to find out what GDPR means for e5 users, Advanced customers and the finance function in general. 

 

What else is happening at the workshop? 

The meeting will also look at e5.5 customer upgrades, future development and host the Infochange Annual General Meeting 2017.  Our workshops also offer members great networking opportunities, a chance to have informal discussions with Advanced and e5 users and share best practice and product knowledge.  Many members learn things they never knew (or may have never learned) by attending events like these – why not come along and see what valuable insight you might uncover?
