The Possibility of Data Processing and Storage Using Modern Technologies
The Possibility of Data Processing and Storage Using Modern Technologies
AmCham proposes regulatory changes to allow digital data storage and processing of archival materials in the cloud outside Croatia, within the EEA.
The current level of technological development enables businesses to store and process documentation in analog and digital form. One of the ways to store digital documentation is cloud storage, which brings users various benefits such as access to documentation from anywhere in the world and document processing without the need to store it on a local server after processing.
Although the benefits of cloud technology are clearly visible, the current legislative framework limits companies in Croatia from using them to the maximum extent. Namely, storage and processing of documentation in the cloud is only possible if the server is physically located in Croatia.
AmCham proposes changes to the legislative framework that would enable the storage and processing of digital material through the cloud in such a way that the physical place of storage can be located in the territory of the European Economic Area. The adoption of this solution would contribute to the facilitation of business, better availability of digital infrastructure, increased productivity, financial savings, and security.
