Motivate and Inspire Workforce<br />D. Innovate<br />The end user becomes more service-oriented. Scalability is baked into environment. Lifecycle refresh may drive XaaS<br />The productivity aspects of an end users business will continue to evolve. As transformation bleeds out from the infrastructure end users will want to enhance ways work is done<br />The end user begins to leverage the transformation roadmap by moving to X86 (FEC) products. Virtual infrastrucutre management and automation become core to the VI. Resource pools and private clouds crop up to enhance resource optimization. <br />The SPworks with end users to build a de-commissioning strategy to free up budgets. End users are also encourgaged to assess the viability of a Transformation Roadmap. <br />Cloud Workloads<br />ITaaS<br />Lifecycle Refresh<br />Social<br />Mobile<br />UXP<br />VIM<br />Converged <br />Private Cloud<br />RationalizationOptimization<br />Sustainability<br />ADAPT<br />INVEST<br />ENABLE<br />INNOVATE<br />Increase utilization of transformational technology while driving down cost and complexity<br />Copyright © Eliot C.
