Short clip: Meeting the demand for mobility

>>And is there a feeling among the people you talk to that the kinds of devices that we're starting to see, mobile devices, that they will start to really become powerful enough that you can leave your laptop at home?

>>Well actually there's two components to that that I think we've seen. One is the change in expectation of the employee, very common discussion for new hires, people that

>>We'll try to deal with generation Y

>>Absolutely

>>You're people coming to work are young people

>>Absolutely, the generation wants to be mobile, who wants instant access. It doesn't take no as an excuse and so it wants convenience and that's a requirement being applied to every corporation and every IT leader to be able to provide that and it's not gonna go away.

>>So it's almost like saying if you want to get the really talented people, you better provide mobility in the fashion that these people are custom to.

>>Yes and a lot of the discussions I'm having with colleagues is that clearly no corporation can take every new device that comes on the market. So it's gotta have the intelligence. It's gotta have the partnerships, gotta work the ecosystem, have the relationships with suppliers so it knows that's behind the curtain and can plan for it in a very proactive way. You can't be passive any longer and just, I'll take, two years from now I'll upgrade something. There'll be multiple versions coming out you in between. Each of those has some value and you've got to help the corporation understand what's going to work for them and either bring it in to the corporation or don't bring it in but have some rational for that.
