2. Info-Tech Research Group2 Own the corporate personal cloud to boost service while managing risk and maintaining appropriate controls The enterprise cannot manage workforce computing in a cloudy future if it does not own and manage the key enabling services of personal cloud: application portals, cloud file sharing, and integrated identity management. Senior IT management responsible for IT strategic planning. Workforce computing management staff / support personnel whose current job will be impacted. Key stakeholders of current SaaS cloud initiatives. Other member of the executive team that want to implement personal cloud as a key strategy for the organization. Evaluate your current state and understand drivers of personal cloud computing. Outline drivers and agreed upon goals for enabling corporate personal clouds. Determine challenge mitigation tactics and create a roadmap specific to your organization for the implementation of personal cloud computing. Develop a strategic document that outlines and communicates the plan to the business stakeholders. This Research Is Designed for:This Project Will Help You: Companies should, 1) put together a personal cloud policy, 2) put together a device policy in terms of what devices they can leverage, and 3) make sure the approaches are balanced between risk and reward. You can’t eliminate risk completely and, ultimately, people are going to start heading off in that direction whether you want them to or not. - David Linthicum, CTO and Industry Expert

3. Info-Tech Research Group3 IT not having a role in managing workforce computing will result in... Increased complexity of multiple devices and multiple credentials. Greater potential for security issues and data leakage due to the unmonitored use of consumer apps. Failing to meet the service needs of end users. Missed opportunities to lower costs and improve service to the business. The role of IT is threatened: IT lacks relevance and its mandate is questioned. A corporate personal cloud strategy will... Enable greater choice. End users are able to select the applications that will best allow them to complete their jobs. Mitigate risks. Supplying users with a corporate app store will lessen the likelihood they will engage consume apps for corporate use. Improve service. End users have access to corporate resources anytime, anywhere, and are able to self-provision. Allow IT to maintain centralized control over application, data, and device management. Why do you need a strategy for corporate personal clouds? Workforce computing is moving beyond singular (PCs) to mobile, virtual, and cloud. Get ahead of these trends or be left behind. Are you in or are you out? This transition is not so much about hardware and software as it is about larger cultural and lifestyle changes that are taking place. The corporate computing environment needs to adjust to remain relevant given the rapidly evolving personal computing environment.

11. Info-Tech Research Group11 All these forces have potential to improve service and workforce productivity, but they are also a significant threat to enterprise management and control. Plan for the forces combining to explode the traditional desktop PC as the focal point of your workforce computing Desktop virtualization (including app virtualization) began the separation of personal computing from personal computers, ushering in the concept of “cloud desktops” but this is only the beginning as computing moves beyond the traditional PC desktop. Increased use of devices such as smart phones and tablets are increasing demand for mobile applications as well as access of traditional applications from these devices. Increased adoption of externally hosted Software as a Service applications by the business without integration will lead to fragmentation of identity/access and loss of corporate controls. Cloud file storage and sharing services (e.g. Dropbox) are prime examples of a cloud service that has the potential to boost workforce productivity and flexibility while also putting a key aspect of workforce computing beyond enterprise control. Virtualization Mobile Devices Software as a Service HTML 5 Applications Cloud Storage/File Sharing Personal Cloud Personal Computer Make sure this explosion does not destroy your ability to serve, manage, and control the workforce computing environment.
