A collaborative approach to information strategy

HP_ES — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:46:54 GMT

By Claudia Ortolani , Senior Consultant, HP Information Management and Analytics

A cio.com article published earlier this year addressed the need for CIOs to be more connected with the business:

“For CIOs to be ahead in big data and BI for next year, (IDC head of research, Joel) Oostveen said they will need to start collaborating more with other business executives in order to fully understand how big data can be used to deliver on business outcomes.”

I find this statement quite interesting – and not at all surprising – since participating with HP clients in a workshop designed to do just what Oostveen suggests – foster collaboration between business and IT executives about how information can drive business value. The workshop lasted only a single day, but it was the first time these heterogeneous groups actually sat in a room together to understand different internal needs and points of view across the organization. This is seemingly not uncommon. And I found it was incredibly enlightening and empowering for them to hear their perspectives and collaborate on a roadmap of concrete priorities and outcomes.

Your enterprise needs to quickly adjust to a new reality. We’re living in a world of constant adaptation, digital and hyper-connected.

Behind this, market forces are not just growing—they’re converging. The cloud, social media, mobility, the need for increased security, and the explosion of data are happening simultaneously.

HP_ES — Fri, 31 May 2013 09:00:00 GMT

With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27%, cloud is the fastest-growing segment in the software industry today. With its potential to save money, save time in application development and deployment, and improve customer access and satisfaction, many organizations can benefit from a move to cloud, especially with its 24/7 access for applications such as CRM and ERP data.

By Mateen Greenway, Fellow, CT UK&I PS

Successful use of cloud is dependent upon having a clear strategy for transitioning applications. And for most public and private sector organizations, this will not be a “one-size fits all” approach. Not every application is a good candidate for the cloud. The challenge is how to determine which applications to move, to what cloud architecture, when to move them and how. Consider the following factors when mapping applications to the cloud.

How Does Cloud Computing Affect IT Delivery and Operational Risks?

Ken_Howard — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:58:58 GMT

By James Bond, Chief Technologist, HP Enterprise Services, U.S. Public Sector

Adopting Cloud computing profoundly affects the methods, costs, and risks associated with delivering IT services to your end-consumers. The days of huge IT departments and budgets are gone, in both private and public sector, so unless your organization is in the business of providing IT, you are better off re-focussing resources on your core business and away from a large IT department. Cloud computing can deliver the technology you need, more effectively, and at a lower cost. With the transition to cloud, however, comes the CIO’s management challenge to be responsive to mission needs while managing the inherent risk.

From device management to secure access, the mobile workforce is shifting IT

Ken_Howard — Fri, 17 May 2013 21:41:41 GMT

A convergence of mobile proliferation and cloud services are creating shifts in how and where work gets done. As a result, enterprises are being compelled to think differently about the role of IT.

Flexibility is critical as employees bring their own devices to work, creating an entirely new way of collaborating, accessing information, and using applications. When thinking about how to tackle these trends, IT departments can’t make the mistake of thinking in silos. A solid cloud strategy must encompass mobile capabilities, with a strong, secure backbone. At HP Discover 2013, you’ll find breakout sessions on the increasingly mobile workforce of the future that will stimulate ideas and equip your enterprise with solid steps to move forward.
