The Death of the Traditional Enterprise
Or the Rebirth of an IT department
Zuzanna Pasierbinska-Wilson, VP Marketing, Huddle@huddlesuz
Quick introduction Huddle is the leader in enterprise
cloud collaboration and content management
We help teams manage projects, files and people securely
85,000 businesses using Huddle in more than 180 countries
Customers include Kia Motors, AKQA, HTC, Disney, Boots, P&G
People are accustomed to using simple, flexible web-based tools to communicate with people in their social lives, and they want this ease of use to be available in
the enterprise.
If people have the ability to buy software apps on their smartphones they will expect the same power and simplicity to be available in the workplace.
ABI Research has revealed that nearly 8bn apps were downloaded in 2010!
Consumerization of IT at work
Disconnect? What disconnect? Employers don't seem to know how many or
what consumer technologies are in use in their workplace.
Workers are dissatisfied with the level of support IT provides for consumer technologies.
More than half of workers believe that can store personal data on the company network
Even though 95% of employees use self-purchased technologies for work, 70% employers want to buy standardized technologies for them.
IT department is still stuck in a top-down command and control paradigm
There is a need for IT to get with the program and understand the world is going to be different and
demand a much more transparent and agile method of IT delivery in the future (Accenture)
But it doesn’t have to be a battle…
IT professionals need to balance the demands for flexibility and control
SaaS and ‘the cloud’ have come of age
IT’s concerns about security, control, adoption and ROI are unfounded

SharePoint and desktop tools like Microsoft Office
