Pillsbury’s Global Sourcing & Technology Transactions team is at the forefront of emerging issues related to cloud computing, helping clients with cloud-specific transactions as well as comprehensive IT outsourcing initiatives.

As cloud computing fundamentally changes how information is acquired, used and stored, Pillsbury is working with clients to optimize the benefits of cloud computing while proactively addressing the operational, security and privacy challenges that arise when moving data, applications and resources beyond the corporate firewall and to the cloud. We apply our extensive experience in those realms to help clients maximize the efficient and effective use of cloud offerings as a delivery alternative while maintaining the appropriate level of control and compliance.

In addition to data privacy and security, intellectual and technology licensing, clients also look to Pillsbury for guidance in structuring and negotiating business transformation agreements with an eye on revolutionizing businesses through best practices.
