3. NEXT GENERATION WORKPLACE
A significant opportunity has emerged for the CIO to deliver game-changing
value to the business thru Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C).
Communications and collaboration are
►
essential ingredients of business
success.
Technology innovations over the last
►
couple of decades have mainly
electronified communications, but have
not fundamentally changed collaboration
– until now.
It is up to the CIO (and others) to harness
►
these technologies to create strategic
business benefits.
To obtain the benefits though, the CIO
►
(and others) must also address the
resultant security issues, build the
appropriate supporting network and
desktop infrastructure, and address and
deploy end-user change.

Powerful collaboration tools have emerged to seamlessly connect individuals ,
teams, partners and companies...
Unified Interface – access telephony,
email, voice mail, IM, conferencing,
and document sharing from one
interface.
Accessibility – Locate, connect
and collaborate with others
seamlessly and instantaneously
regardless of one’s location and
available communication device.

Next Generation CIO’s…
“Many chief information
officers do an excellent job
of overseeing IT operations,
but very few lead their
companies' efforts to get real
business benefits from IT
investments. A new style of
leader is needed—one who
can find ways for IT to change
the company, not just run
it.”

Problem or opportunity?
Kvifor sosiale medier?
”Hege Skjeie skreiv i DN lørdag 4.4 at det er
mykje tull på Twitter – eit populært sosialt
medium. Det er det - nett som det er mykje
tull på tv og i avisene. Det betyr ikkje at
mediet er ubrukeleg.”
Bård Vegar Solhjell
