Consumerization of IT / Mobile ComputingEnterprise Significance & 2012 Predictions The “Consumerization of IT” is continuing to accelerate within corporate IT environments, as new generations of powerful mobile devices proliferate… • Enterprise Significance • 2012 Predictions The opportunity? Exploiting the full potential of mobile devices and applications for anywhere, anytime worker productivity, customer value, and process improvement Mobile Computing • IT organizations will develop new applications and reengineer business processes as they look to connect with clients and improve employee productivity. • Organizations will make greater use of mobile device and application management tools to better manage, secure, maintain, and deploy mobile devices and applications.
Mobility as the New DesktopThe Emerging Computing Platform for Growth The primary business drivers for Mobile Computing relate to improving employee productivity, driving customer value by enhancing the customer experience and delivering new products and services, and streamlining business processes The key business drivers are: • Employee Productivity:Mobile computing boosts worker productivity through anytime/anywhere access to corporate resources, information and business processes • Driving Customer Value: Organizations are discovering new ways of generating customer value and competitive advantage with mobile services as the delivery channel or even as an integral part of the product or service • Business Process Improvement:Mobile devices are significantly improving and streamlining existing business processes and helping to innovate entirely new ones • Why Now? • Consumerization of IT is driving additional opportunities for the business as consumers and employees adopt mobile computing as their preferred method of information access and bring their own high-end devices to work Mobility is fast becoming the new technology platform for growth and innovation - changing the way we access and consume information, communicate, and conduct business transactions
Mobile is the New DesktopAn explosion of new devices is rapidly engulfing the market As mobile becomes “the new desktop”, the challenges include how to enhance mission-critical applications and how to secure and manage an ever-growing array of devices and applications IDC Black Book Q2 2011 Key Observations • Smart-phones, Tablets, and imminent “Flexible” computing platforms are increasing the pace of change at the end-point. • The environment is diverse, and will become more diverse in the coming years.. • Newer devices more often serve as dual purpose “personal” and “workplace” devices than traditional laptops and PCs. • Diversity in operating environments and form factors will continue, putting pressure on the burgeoning mobile applications market. • Integrated Mobile Device Management is complicated by a lack of standards.
Mobile Technology TrendsMobile technologies are expanding user interface innovation • Emerging mobile technologies such as context-awareness and mobile payments continue to introduce rich and innovative new services delivering a competitive edge for early adopters Key Observations • Mobility continues to be a key platform for business growth and innovation… • Location Based Services allows field operations to be enhanced with geographical data, • Uniquely mobile functions, such as the ability to "check in" to a store for alerts, or add items to a shopping cart simply by taking a photo or scanning a barcode enhances retail experience, • Near Field Communication (NFC) streamlines payment processing for financial applications, • Context-aware applications provide personalized and targeted end-user experience across the board, • New sensors and processing capability recognize the user's surroundings, allowing innovative business applications Source: Gartner
Unisys Consumerization of IT ResearchKey 2011 Findings and Implications for 2012 • Our second annual global survey in conjunction with IDC found that enterprises are falling further behind employee usage of Consumer Technologies in the Workplace Usage of consumer technologies increasing among employees; IT executives see value, but are hampered by security concerns, support issues, and a growing workload… • IT executives recognize the CoIT trend is real and inevitable • 40% of devices used to access applications are personally owned (up 10% from last year) • iWorkers are using smart mobile devices at twice the rateIT executives believe is the case • Yet IT departments are not taking proactive steps to ready their organizations to serve needs of mobile customers: • Only 6% of IT decision-makers have modernized customer-facing apps to work with mobile devices • IT respondents doing less than they did in 2010 to secure mobile devices • Constrained resources a barrier: 80% of IT respondents say department workload is increasing due to consumerization
Recent findings from Unisys BriefingsTen Key Observations stand out in Client Conversations • After briefing over 40 organizations across a number of industries on the findings of the 2011 Consumerization of IT Research, Unisys has arrived at a set of ten key observations Key Client Observations Client Initiatives • Moved past last years “lock it out” response • More open to BYOT approaches • Ongoing business procurement outside of IT • Developing mobile app business case is key • Security remains primary concern • Interest in cloud solutions to regain app control • IT policies need to be strengthened • Few have moved past basic mobile apps • Cost and skills a barrier to app modernization • Customer apps prioritized over employee apps Our global clients are keenly interested in services that can help them … Determine mobile application opportunity areas and implement via mobile development & modernization services (#4, 8, 9 & 10) Implement a consistent approach to device management & security across the enterprise (#1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & 7)
