9 Innovation = Fail Better Fund 6+ Ideas 1 Month Fail Fast Fail Cheap $250K budget Innovate WIN Revenue

10 Increase Innovation: Cloud = Fail Better On-Premises $ Millions Nearly $0 Experiment Infrequently Failure is expensive Less Innovation Cloud Experiment Often Fail quickly at a low cost More Innovation

14 Data Residency Considerations

15 Data Residency Considerations Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) Most Cloud providers store data in the US. The Privacy Commissioner of Canada provides guidance with the storage and handling of electronic personal information. (PIPEDA) Protect privacy through contract, however, still subject to the criminal, national security or any other laws of the hosting country. Organizations must advise employees that their personal information may be sent to another jurisdiction for processing and it may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction. SAP BPC: Negligible Risk: only HR Planning might contain personal information.
