  1. DLA BYOD Overview • April 1, 2013

  2. Agenda • Business Drivers • DLA’s Road to BYOD • Why DLA Has Been Successful • BYOD Challenges • DLA’s Virtual Access and BYOD Vision

  3. Business Drivers for BYOD at DLA • DLA recognized that in order to be a high-performing agency, it must: • Provide tools so employees can effectively work during routine telework, weather emergencies, and COOP/ Pandemic activities • Reduce redundant and/or disparate capabilities across the agency through enterprise consolidation and broadening availability of capabilities • Reduce end-user hardware costs through: • Leveraging BYOD / non-government furnished equipment (GFE) • Adopting lower-cost end-user hardware (thin client and zero client devices) • Shifting focus to managing applications and operating systems centrally in the data center instead of distributed at the client machine • Reduce end-user software costs by leveraging virtual (shared) applications and desktops • Promote a more agile workforce that is able to support the mission anytime, anywhere

  4. DLA’s Road to BYOD • Centered around Citrix virtual applications • Independent growth of disparate Citrix XenApp implementations across DLA’s field sites from 2005-2010 • Enterprise effort from 2010 onward has standardized all Citrix components across DLA’s distributed landscape, which has: • Enabled secure remote application access from non-GFE devices • Expanded remote BYOD access for all 30,000 DLA employees • Coordinated with Citrix to expand access from mobile devices / tablets using DoD Common Access Card (CAC) authentication

  5. Why DLA Has Been Successful • Enterprise Approach • Gathered lessons learned across disparate environments to gain efficiencies in enterprise Citrix approach • Targeted use cases of teleworkers and off-site contractors • Vendor Integration • Strong vendor relationship allowed DLA and Citrix to coordinate in mobile receiver development, and DLA to sponsor Citrix STIGs • Collaboration across DoD efforts • Cross-DLA Integration and Innovation • Telework • Virtualization • Office Communicator • Mobility / iPad

  6. BYOD Challenges • Network restrictions limit BYOD to remote use only • Mobile integration proves challenging for DoD: • Limited support across vendors • Costs for smart card readers • User adoption varies greatly due to: • Fear of invasion of privacy • Not all users willing to use personal devices

  7. DLA’s Virtual Access and BYOD Vision • Now • Access published applications from GFE or BYOD • End-user workstations running local operating system and primary applications • Near-Term • Introduce access to virtual desktops from GFE or BYOD laptops, mobile devices, and tablets • Employees 100% portable between work locations • Long-Term • Expand virtual application/desktop integration with BYOD for seamless transition between devices, locations, and personas, with integrated MDM • Employee driven devices • Hardware, administration, and facility savings • Employees treating work as an activity, not a location
