To Accelerate IT Innovation, Think like a Rocket Scientist A Mobile Transformation Mission with Microsoft Windows 10 and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Reimagine10

Similar to the pioneering scientists that make space exploration possible,

IT leaders of large organizations are charged with pulling off complex

missions that push the boundaries of new technology to achieve bolder

objectives. For IT innovators, a critical mission today is to capitalize on

the latest mobile and digital technologies to help dissolve geographies,

transform business processes, and accelerate innovation.

At the same time, IT leaders face complex challenges, such as combining

new technologies with existing infrastructure investments and retaining a

high level of security in an increasingly mobile world. To accomplish their

mission quickly and safely, it takes a team with deep experience and

expertise, a time-tested approach, and the right tools and technologies,

all working together in a coordinated effort.

To help make digital and mobile transformation missions a success,

Hewlett Packard Enterprises and Microsoft have joined forces to help IT

leaders unleash real, rapid, and safe mobile and digital innovation using

groundbreaking technologies and processes.

Read on to learn how thinking like a rocket scientist will help you manage

complexity and accelerate your IT innovation.

Gather Requirements and Select Technologies

Long-term foundation based upon mission-critical technology requirements

Mapping out the technologies that will lay the foundation for many different missions moving forward

is critical to long-term savings, interoperability, reliability, and ease of use. In mobile business

transformations, your “rocket” propelling your business productivity forward is your devices and apps,

and your “mission control” seamlessly manages data, devices, apps, and identity.

Every space mission has benefited from legacy technologies while also incorporating the latest ground-

breaking engineering innovations. It’s critical that your technology platform enable a hybrid approach

that seamlessly combines existing and new.

The technologies you choose when embarking on enabling mobile innovation should be:

Consistent across PC’s and mobile devices

Compatible with multiple cloud technologies and work

seamlessly with your existing infrastructure

Leading-edge in data, identities, and device protection

Proven and reputable

Enterprise-grade

Familiar across both back and front-ends for simplicity and

easier adoption

Adhering to these requirements will save a lot of time, money,

effort, and heartache. These stringent but important requirements

are why HPE is collaborating deeply with Microsoft—to provide

enterprise-ready solutions that safely and effectively mobilize and

digitize business processes by empowering employees, unifying IT

environments, and protecting data.

With Windows 10, you can build universal apps that offer a familiar

experience across all Windows devices while having one

management paradigm and security model, saving costs and

reducing IT complexity. Windows 10 is the most secure Windows

ever, offering multiple layers of enterprise protection against

modern security threats. And it’s designed to work with Microsoft’s

Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS), which offers robust cloud-based

identity and access management, mobile device and application

management, information protection, and desktop virtualization

capabilities. Building on existing technology and skillset

investments, EMS allows you to easily extend workloads to the

cloud for efficiency and increased functionality—helping your

organization build a forward-looking approach to managing the

technologies your people use to be as productive as possible.

The Right Expertise

When you work with HPE, you get the expertise, guidance, and solutions to get the most from your

technology investments and dramatically accelerate your path to transformation. With its rigorous yet

highly agile approach to digital transformation and its unmatched depth and breadth of Microsoft

technology expertise, HPE is uniquely able to deliver true end-to-end solutions quickly and with

reduced risk.

Plan The Mission and Build a Prototype In space travel, failure on a big scale is not an option.

Likewise, the stakes are high for businesses investing in new

technology. It can cost enterprises millions—even tens of

millions—of dollars if a big project stalls or fails to land.

Therefore, it is critical to take an agile approach that radically

speeds up the transformation process and offers a platform for

iterative innovation. As you reimagine new business workflows

and develop your plan, you should quickly develop a

demonstrable prototype that can be used and tested early. In

fact, as you start the planning process, subject matter experts,

business analysts, developers and user experience designers

should be together in the same room working on both the flight

plan and, simultaneously, a working prototype. HPE’s

Reimagine 10 intensive 5-day workshop

Mission success begins with a clear destination and a good plan for getting there. However, having a

well-defined destination isn’t always straightforward, and there are key questions you need to answer

to clarify where you want to go:

1. What is the shared vision? Agree on your ultimate mission. Is it to increase customer satisfaction?

Grow revenue? Improve employee productivity?

2. What are the success metrics? Understand what you can measure to define levels of success. Is it

time reduction of a process? User satisfaction rating? ROI? Increased revenue? All of the above?

3. What are the business goals? Create a set of benchmarks and goals. What are the numbers you

want to achieve? By when do you want to achieve them?

4. What are the pain points? Dissect particular business processes associated with the vision and

start to reimagine a better way of working. Where are there inefficiencies? Where is there lost

opportunity?

HPE’s Reimagine 10 is an intensive five-day workshop designed to help you succinctly answer each of

these questions so that you come away with a sound, actionable plan for rapid, low risk execution of

successful innovations.

#1 CIO concern: "Can't

Develop a Prototype

Reimagine 10 workshops don’t stop at just developing the

plan. In five days, HPE also develops a usable Windows 10

prototype that users can start testing right away on devices.

This groundbreaking approach can help you do within weeks

or a few months what used to take a year or much longer to

accomplish. The workshop is all about innovating testing

real scenarios with real software on real devices. White

boards are great for the first day or two, but keeping

concepts “on paper” will only serve to stall innovation.

Having a working prototype developed during the intensive

business process workflow discussion brings ideas to life.

Then business simulations on real devices and iterating with

an agile approach moves the mission forward and rapidly

and provides assurances only attainable by real-world use.

Mitigate Risks

Launching IT changes can be fraught with

risk as you can face inhospitable

environments from both your own

employees who may reject the change,

as well as from outside security risks.

Make sure “All Systems are Go” - Foster Internal Adoption In four short years five generations of employees will co-exist in the workplace: Traditionalists, Baby

boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen 2020. Massive changes to workplace culture, practices, and

technology are taking place, and the way in which you motivate and empower this multi-generational

crowd is becoming an increasing challenge. How these groups interpret and tackle daily business

challenges can vary widely. The opportunity for your applications and systems to span the breadth of

generations and enable knowledge sharing is critical for your success.

Ensuring adoption of your new technologies involves three key factors:

(1) Great business process planning.

(2) Use of early adopters /influencers as you test and socialize.

(3) Using technologies that are familiar and intuitive out the gate.

With HPE by your side, you will cover the first two factors as they help you create a comprehensive

plan and then test new processes and applications early with employees.

And with Windows 10, employees are productive right away with its familiar experience across PCs,

tablets, and phones. One major advantage of Windows 10 is that it takes the familiarity of the

Windows desktop and merges it with recent advancements, so employees are experts from the start

and get seamless workflows across all their devices.

Protect Against Alien Life Forms Mobile innovation can truly thrive when you have the

peace of mind that security is built into the fabric of

your organization. It takes a holistic approach, which

means integrating powerful but agile data protection and

governance measures across the whole environment —

including people, processes and technology. This is where HPE’s deep experience and expertise with

enterprise security is paramount, helping you assess risk and incorporate the right level of protection

HPE is #1 in identifying vulnerabilities and threats¹

at each layer of your IT stack. In fact, when it comes to enterprise security, HPE is #1 in helping

organizations identify vulnerability and threats. HPE security solutions are in 8 of 10 of the world’s

largest companies, and 9 of 10 of the world’s largest banks trust HPE to protect more than $9 trillion

in daily transactions.

Windows 10 is the most secure Windows ever with entirely new

ways to help protect identities, data, and devices. Microsoft

Passport is an easy to deploy two-factor password alternative.

Windows Hello provides enterprise grade biometric security for

modern devices. Enterprise Data Protection makes it easier to

perform data separation & containment of corporate data,

wherever it might be. Hardware-based security like Device Guard

helps maintain and validate hardware and system integrity.

Having older devices throughout your organization that weren’t

designed to withstand today’s security threats can be a point of

weakness. Migrating to Windows 10 hardware allows you to take

full advantages of the full suite of security features built-in to

Windows 10. HPE specializes in Windows migrations, large and

small. Having executed hundreds of migrations, including dozes greater than 50,000 seats, HPE has

special tools and processes in place to make them more seamless and successful than ever.

Aim for Simplicity

While rocket science and space travel are by no means

“simple”, scientists do strive for simplification in order

to have fewer potential points of failure. The same

holds true for information technology. You reduce

security risk by having streamlined systems with fewer

opportunities for downtime, gaps in security, and

unforeseen incompatibilities. You shouldn’t have to

write and rewrite code for different form factors. Security updates should be simple and smooth to

implement. New technologies should integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure and other

cloud technologies, yet be robust enough for the task.

HPE’s end-to-end lifecycle services (Advise – Design – Develop – Test – Deploy – Manage - Monitor) with

in-depth methodologies specific to Microsoft cloud and Windows 10 technologies, provide you with one

source of accountability across all touchpoints. And you can avoid having to patch together and

manage several disparate providers, a feat in and of itself’.

“The best path to reducing risk is to have a simple system”3

- John Logsdon, Space Policy Professor

Emeritus, George Washington University

Organizations need to consider the additional benefits that modern

hardware designs engineered specifically for

the new capabilities of Windows 10 can bring to addressing key challenges

to the business and maximizing the real

benefits of migrating to Windows 10.
