Mobility is the key business and technology driver for many enterprises a source of innovation, competitive advantage and improved productivity. Yet for many in IT management, mobility raises more questions than it answers. This briefing will answer those questions.
Gone are the days when IT could prescribe what users would do and what equipment they would use: the democratization and consumerization of IT has blown that door off its hinges. Instead, IT departments are faced with legacy architectures designed for an increasingly obsolescent way of working. Along with those legacy architectures come legacy mindsets and habits, all of which must be changed to deal with the Nexus: the convergence of information, social computing, mobility, and cloud. In the Nexus, information is the context for delivering enhanced social and mobile experiences. Mobile devices are a platform for effective social networking and new ways of working. Cloud enables delivery of information and functionality to users and systems. The forces of the Nexus are intertwined to create a user-driven ecosystem of modern computing.
Cloud computing offers organizations increased agility, better utilization of assets, and more manageable cost equations. But these advantages come at a cost. IT organizations must adapt their systems, infrastructure, and application delivery processes to effectively leverage cloud computing. IT organizations should establish a cloud strategy by drafting an adoption roadmap, implementing assessment frameworks, and providing cloud services to the business. During the day, Gartner for Technical Professionals (GTP) analyst Alessandro Perilli will answer a key question any cloud strategy should answer: how to build a private cloud?

In most cases IT is already running a business, or at least a business within a business. The question is how effectively is that business being run. IT leaders are at a critical juncture. They have historically run IT as a cost center, which has meant sticking to budget at the expense of customer requirements for service quality, reliability and value. Given increasing demand for IT services driven by things like Social, Mobility, Cloud and Big Data, traditional competencies are no longer sufficient. So if IT is already running a business the question remains what does that entail and what activities should an IT organization focus on to run their business effectively.
This briefing will identify the best practices and explore new and innovative ways that have been most successful in running IT like a business.
