Is your IT dashboard fit for purpose?
Our collective experiences with consumer technologies and social media enabled problem resolution is changing what we expect from enterprise IT and support. Transparency, better self-help documentation and immediate access to experts are just three examples of fresh challenges faced by delivery teams. At the same time, cloud computing options are driving financial re-assessment of traditional IT management options such as  offshoring, nearshoring, homeshoring and outsourcing.  This presentation will review internal user and IT management trends and propose dashboard redesign to focus on outcomes that reflect the modern workforce's needs.

Bring Your Own Device to a Post Desktop World
Employees today expect to use personal mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, e-readers and more while at work. This bring-your-own-device phenomenon is changing the way IT organizations address network access security. For IT organizations, BYOD means supporting a variety of devices and their operating systems, and maintaining an expected level of service. To keep costs low, it must be easy to securely onboard new devices and quickly identify and resolve problems. This session focuses on the benefits and considerations associated with BYOD, and how organizations can effectively deploy a unified access management solution for any wireless, wired or VPN network.
