  1. Questions Executives Should Ask Prior To Tablet Rollout ? Fritz Switzer, CAO The abletFactory

  2. What is our Strategy? • Adopting technology without a strategy and without formally identifying and validating business requirements is like playing corporate “Powerball”. • Such requirements must be “customer focused” whether internal, external or both. • Positive effect must be quantifiable

  3. Is Our Technology Adoption Plan? • Random • Include a magic wand • Time and money waster

  4. Today’s Executive Questions • Is the introduction of Tablets aligned with the business strategy? • With regard to previous technology implementations • Which ones went well and why? • Which ones crashed and burned?

  5. Three Tablet Questions • Form or Function? • Software alternatives? • Mobility and Collaboration? • Oh yeah, ROI? ROI? ROI?

  6. Form Factors ? • Laptops –Tablets- PDAs • Slate,Convertible,Hybrid • Input Methods? • Keyboard • Digital Ink • Speech Recognition

  7. Software Issues For Tablets ? • Forms • MS Office Apps • Databases • Languages • Recognition

  8. Mobility and Collaboration? • Wireless • Desktop/Laptop replacement • Peer-to-Peer

  9. Impacts on Business processes • What will improve and by how much? • What must change? (processes, systems integration, regulatory, and facilities considerations) • Who will design and implement these changes?

  10. Tablet ROI ? Let’s Learn from the Laptops • Increase Productivity • Increase Revenues • Lower Costs

  11. Lower Total Cost of Ownership ? • 1995 TCO difference between notebooks and desktops $4000 • 1998 delta $1000 • The question then is: How much extra value do you need to get from a Tablet to make up the $1000 difference?

  12. Extra credit TCO answer ! • Tablet PC users would need to perform one extra hour of productive work per week to justify the additional TCO of a Tablet

  13. Higher Total Benefit of Ownership (TBO) • Mobil users realize productivity improvements of the magnitude of 3-8 hours per week • Gartner Consulting: Business users that spend 20% or more time out of office realize a minimum annual benefit of $34,560 due to improved productivity and efficiency.

  14. Recommendation • After implementation, continuously measure and report effectiveness • If it isn’t delivering, drill down and find out why • It’s not about technology, but rather • People, processes and then technology

  15. The Killer Answer? • Deploying high-performance Tablets have additional benefits • Provide significant investment protection • The more powerful the Tablet , the less likely they will need to be replaced early as software demands grow. • High-end Tablets enjoy a longer lifecycle in the field.
