promise and perils of enterprise mobility
DESCRIPTION
Like many companies, IBM has learned about enterprise mobility by just doing it. Chris Pepin has a unique perspective on this odyssey. He was part of the IBM Office of the CIO when smart phones first began making their way into the company. As IBMers found increasingly innovative ways to harness their power, Chris helped fashion the policies and management strategies to empower mobile device users while still keeping them secure and manageable. Today, thousands of IBMers use smart phones and tablet's for everything from customer support to sales force automation. Mobility maps perfectly to the IBM's goal of creating an enterprise in which people can access the information they need at any time and from any location. The vision of "Information at Your Fingertips" that Bill Gates laid out more than 20 years ago has finally been realized. Companies that execute quickly will gain significant advantage. In this presentation, Chris describes the early challenges IBM faced with the influx of mobile devices and how it crafted strategies to smoothly incorporate them into the organization. He also discusses the future of mobility and how it will transform jobs and organizations.TRANSCRIPT

IBM is a mobile business – “walk the talk”
95% of employees are issued laptops. Employees have the option of using a personally-owned device
Over 50,000 smartphones and tablets with access to the IBM corporate network and growing rapidly!
50% of employees work remotely – not from a traditional IBM office

A highly diverse workforce:
• 425,000 employees worldwide
• 50% workforce has less than 5 years of service
• 71% of employees are outside the US

How did IBM become a mobile business?
Established policies for mobile employees, personally-owned devices and social media
Sold expensive office space and created world-wide mobility centers
“Opt-in” BYOD with self-service and “wisdom of the crowds” support
Embraced collaboration and social media tools to stay connected

Summary
There are challenges to deliver on the promise of a mobile enterprise but there are also solutions
Not all the issues are technology-related (e.g. HR, legal, security - policy)
Don’t try to boil the ocean. Becoming a mobile business takes time
Culture trumps strategy
