One of the areas of new technologies is the use of specific materials and textiles. It is worth noting that more and more clothing manufacturers are choosing methods of producing products that will be less harmful to the environment. Undoubtedly, the use of modern technologies in this field prevents the progress of negative climate changes to some extent. At the same time, it influences the positive perception of the brand among consumers, who more and more often consciously choose more ecological solutions, also in the case of fashion. Legal regulations, not only Polish, but also applicable to producers from European Union countries, specify what description should be indicated and contained in the label. Each manufacturer must put a mark or label informing about the type of fibers from which the garment is made. Such marking must be permanent, legible, visible, easily accessible and carefully affixed. The proper application of these legal regulations is controlled by the relevant market surveillance authorities – in Poland, this is the Trade Inspection and the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection.
The development of the fashion industry is associated with the introduction of new technologies not only in the clothing production process, but also in the sales process or the logistics sector. The use of modern solutions is aimed at, inter alia, facilitating shopping for customers, and at the same time increasing sales, safety of individual groups and work efficiency.
In today’s legal world, new technologies are being used more and more often, which are aimed at modernizing the work of lawyers. Data privacy and protection is a priority in today’s increasingly digital world, where a rapidly changing regulatory landscape creating challenges for business and more and more data is sent to the cloud. The momentum towards digital transformation is moving fast in many countries and this is another changing space that is exciting and challenging.
What sorts of challenges we are seeing being created by changes in digital world?
Cloud and retail technologies have advanced significantly, including customer understanding of the level of robustness and security of these solutions. A market of new technologies is changing at a great speed. There is a proposal for more demand and many large enterprises needs for cloud solutions that can be offered to law firms or businesses – and what happened during the pandemic is that many companies made efforts to digitize their space and realized that digitization is no longer a luxury area.
The article presents practical guidelines and recommendations on selected aspects of cloud services agreements and answers to the very problematic question of how to prepare effective agreement protecting due performance of cloud services.
Data migration to the cloud – remedy for tech debt
Modernization of IT systems is often the result of a new business strategy, high costs of system maintenance and development, low level of security, efficiency, and often determination of technological debt. Determining the amount of technological debt and the risks associated with it are often part of risk management in the company and are included in the Business Continuity Plan. New digital strategies and digital energy transformations require highly scalable IT systems, data security and, accordingly, transfer of data to cloud. An element associated with digital transformation and its important stage is data migration to the cloud which stands for moving applications and data from one location (on-premise) to servers of the public cloud service provider (virtual servers). This is the beginning of digital transformation.
