Next-generation businesses are agile, innovative, collaborative, fluid -- from their IT environment to their corporate culture. They have the people, processes and technology to harness new ideas and make them work; to crowdsource effectively, inside and out; to thrive on change, yet control the chaos. How can organizations embrace the latest changes in the IT and business landscape? It’s not an easy journey, and requires vision and skill sets not always found in conventional organizations, let alone IT. Yet there are now compelling case examples and precedents that point the way to more effective, productive, and high impact applications of IT to business needs and challenges.

Drawn from hundreds of customer engagements, next-generation enterprise IT thought leader Dion Hinchcliffe will share his game-changing playbook for transforming the enterprise to position it for today and beyond. Packed with dozens of strategies and best practices, this informative session prepares IT and business managers and staff with an array of useful techniques: Quick wins to get you started. Ways to socialize and implement larger scale change. Tactics for convincing old-school colleagues. Designed for audiences in IT or line-of-business, Dion will use his well-known visual thinking approach to walk attendees through concepts and techniques to help all organizations raise their game – wherever they are on their journey to the next generation of business.

Employees’ have begun driving the use of consumer technology in the workplace -- bringing their mobile devices, Web apps, and social networking experience with them from home -- but the trend goes even deeper than that. It’s a fundamental shift away from IT creating and managing the organization’s IT assets to accepting that employees now own significant swaths of technology and will lead the enterprise march to the future. Noted IT thought leader and enterprise strategist Dion Hinchcliffe has watched organizations large and small struggle with this convergence of mobile, social, cloud and big data, and has helped them prevail in their quest to harness it for innovation to transform the way the enterprise does business. Dion will explore the new IT landscape and share his consumerization experiences in the field to set the stage for the CITE 2012 program by showcasing real-world companies that represent the new generation of IT and business.

This session will show you how to approach the prospect of mobile apps and how to proceed with a secure, business-savvy strategy.

As the consumerization trend marches onward in IT, more and more end users are choosing their own software apps in lieu of using the IT sanctioned business tools. This is increasingly happening for online file sharing and collaboration applications as users tackle issues like shared data, data portability, and end point device access. This is creating a conundrum for IT as it balances business enablement, end user ease of access, and collaborative capabilities with the need to maintain control and security of information assets. This presentation will look at the on line file storage and collaboration landscape and available solutions.

Innovative groups in your organization want to exploit the new tablet form factor and use their smartphones at work—without giving up their favorite personal apps. That means policy, mobile device management (MDM) technology and governance. But with 50 MDM solutions and 10 tablet and smartphone vendors on the market, where do you start? Meet a leading IT architect, who conducted a thorough evaluation of all the options in 2011 before arriving at his recommendations for a 50,000-employee company. In this session, you will get a glimpse into his analysis of the MDM market, discuss the corporate vs. personal ownership model and foster group discussion around what has worked—and what hasn't—in mobile management for both the enterprise and end users.

Integrating consumer devices into the enterprise presents multiple challenges to IT, business owners and end-users.  At Microsoft, we experienced these challenges first-hand when we deployed 1,400 consumer-grade devices to our US field over a two-month period.  In this session, we’ll share lessons learned from this project, and discuss trade-offs inherent in any consumerization initiative.  Matching the right device to the business need is key to success, and we’ll showcase a number of just-released Windows devices that can help you balance productivity with user demand.

The exploding consumerization trend is dramatically re-shaping the way IT services are delivered to users in the enterprise. The proliferation of new devices and devices types including smartphones, tablets and ultrabooks, while a boon for users, has become a serious challenge for IT. With each hot new device that hits the market, users have a growing expectation they can bring them into the workplace. How will IT manage, support and give access to corporate resources on such a diverse set of devices? In this session, Chris Fleck, vice president of mobility solutions at Citrix and customer, Justin Burns with Jack in the Box will provide best practices for developing bring your own device (BYOD) programs, and talk through the technologies and solutions that will enable enterprises to deliver IT services on-demand to any user on any device.

Join Microsoft licensing expert Cynthia Farren for a look at key items to consider from both a licensing and contractual standpoint. She will provide a high level overview of the most common solutions and their implications on your Microsoft agreements and budgets.

Historically, businesses have had to choose among a handful of software packages and invest millions of dollars and countless hours to make them compatible. One version would soon be out-of-date, requiring yet another massive investment of time and money. Consumerization has opened up a landscape of nimble best-of-breed applications, but these apps still need to do more than co-exist, they need to empower each other. The emerging world of integration is lightweight, making it simple to tie apps together, but have the opportunity to be deeper and more expressive than in the past. In this session, attendees will learn about the world of  open integration and how to bring this new model back to their organizations, increasing business value while consolidating and decreasing cost.
 

Bring your own device (BYOD) is a popular method for empowering users with some level of corporate access on their own devices. Yet in Seng Ing’s experience, BYOD sounds better than it is. In this session, he will discuss the pros and cons of BYOD vs. BYSD (Bring Your Supported Device) as well as their deployment strategies. You’ll get a clear idea of which mobility strategy you should champion and/or how to improve your existing BYOD implementation.

The benefit of human workforce diversity is well established, but when it comes to workplace processes and the associated tools, standardization has long been the mantra. But the foundational differences among the various mobile devices now supported by most companies means tool standardization is gone, at least for part of the workforce. In this interactive panel discussion, hear how a range of organizations with varying needs take advantage of the range of devices, apps, and capabilities now available and typically championed by their employees. This panel shares how they've adapted to and taken advantage of this tool diversity, even in the context of regulatory and security requirements.

Following the panel, the room will break out into teams charged with compiling a collective list of current business process and technology standards that can be altered, loosened, eliminated, and redefined to support such diversity, as well as those that must continue as is. The result: a framework and greater understanding of where your device and mobility strategy need to go.

Providing greater freedom to choose the devices that fit end users’ work- and lifestyles can benefit your organization in a plethora of ways. But do you have to support every device that every employee wants? Are there certain classes of workers and certain roles that warrant tighter controls over device selection? What are the key capabilities and requirements that IT should feel comfortable about enforcing in a BYOD world? Do you have to support and develop for every platform? Is it OK to just say no sometimes?

In this interactive panel session, IT leaders will talk about how they are setting boundaries in a world of consumerized IT and what they’re looking for in the mobile platforms and devices they plan to support. After these real-world conversations, workshop participants will define practical strategies for managing device sprawl and how to have difficult conversations with end users – maybe even the CEO! – about which devices and platforms just won’t work in a business environment. Workshoppers will outline the most important security, management and integration capabilities accepted platforms must support and how to segment users by their job functions and needs.

Intro by Scott Kirsner, with director Tiffany Shlain leading discussion afterward

Have you ever faked a restroom trip to check your email? Slept with your laptop? Or become so overwhelmed that you just unplugged from it all? In this funny, eye-opening, and inspiring film, director Tiffany Shlain takes audiences on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride to discover what it means to be connected in the 21st century. From founding The Webby Awards to being a passionate advocate for The National Day of Unplugging, Shlain’s love/hate relationship with technology serves as the springboard for a thrilling exploration of modern life…and our interconnected future. A personal film with universal relevance, Connected explores how, after centuries of declaring our independence, it may be time for us to declare our interdependence instead.

Consumer social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook have become the place to see and be seen for B2B and B2C companies alike. They’re also top destinations for social listening – keeping abreast of what customers, analysts and others are saying about your company or product. Come hear the latest innovations and best practices for using these channels to shape your business, corner the competition and connect with the right stakeholders.

Enterprise IT organizations are struggling at the intersection of opposing forces:  the control of standardization versus the freedom of consumerization; the legacy of distributed computing versus the flexibility of cloud services.  A the same time, they must respond to an increasingly tech savvy employee base that is demanding mobile workstyles and the same combination of power and simplicity in their workplace technology that they enjoy at home, using devices, apps and data that are not purchased or managed by IT to be productive in their jobs.  Always provocative, Mark Templeton will share his belief that the exceptions of the PC Era – things like mobile users, personal devices, wireless access, app stores, SaaS, and cloud infrastructure – have become the new assumptions for the Cloud Era.  He’ll also share insights about how forward-thinking organizations are using virtualization, networking, collaboration and cloud technologies to say yes to the forces of consumerization while dramatically improving business productivity, efficiency and agility and securing the information assets that matter most.

Lilly’s social business story is one of emergence. The emergence of people passionate about working in new ways, the emergence of new social capabilities putting the people’s expertise and passion on display, and the emergence of real business problems being approached in ways never imagined. It’s not a story about a social platform, it’s a story about Lilly’s people entering the stage to become the platform by which knowledge and expertise come to life. Bryce Williams will share a few business success stories that owe their outcomes to social business emerging at Lilly.

Yet it wasn't prepared to exploit these types of consumerization inside the enterprise and was overwhelmed by demand. Learn how Sesame got control of consumerization and established a pipeline of new initiatives to keep the ideas and consumer energy flowing.

Bring your own (mobile) device, or BYOD, is a rising trend, and with good reason – the business benefits and the increase in employee effectiveness are too big to ignore. However, it’s all too easy to get bogged down in the details, like mobile OS versions, device types, location, allowed apps, etc. -- not to mention malware infection and jail breaking/rooting risks. This presentation will offer a strategic, or holistic, vision for BYOD that focuses on a new framework for successful deployment: connect, protect, and manage. The framework allows you to focus on the most important piece of your overall security strategy – policy – while controlling your risk and staying compliant. We will also discuss the relevance of some of the latest findings of our mobile threat center research.

The shift to a post-PC world is one of the most profound transitions of the past two decades. Employees are using an increasing array of devices to be more productive than ever, with business software and systems changing dramatically to meet their needs. Yet one of the biggest challenges for any enterprise is deciding which platforms, architectures, and “paradigms” to support. Managing for various platforms – both varying devices of the same operation system flavor and separate operating systems – can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Whitney Tidmarsh Bouck, GM of Enterprise at Box, will discuss this next great frontier for the enterprise, and why organizations must go beyond native apps and support the long tail of devices.
