Factors Driving Mobility at ATF (& USMS)
• Law enforcement and regulatory missions
– Most work happens away from the office
– Productivity enhancement
• Emergent situations
– Special operations, major events, ESF 13
• Increasing demand for real-time information
– “Knowing what we know”
• Telework / real estate costs
• Predominantly controlled unclassified information

Application Deployment Principles
• Don’t break the usability and convenience
• Strive for simplicity
• Identify minimum technology footprint necessary
to deliver the required functionality
• Deliver cross-application integration where
logical
• Provide single sign-on where/whenever possible

Where This is Leading:
Notional Future Mix of User Devices
• Phone, Slate, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
– Simple, manageable, highly functional mobile devices
– Apps and data available anywhere / from any platform
– Desktop interface and power if/when needed
• Office “kiosks”; home
– Tighter security management
– Significantly lower cost per user
