Sessions at CITE One-Day Forum included:
The Consumerization of IT: Real Companies and The Next Generation of Business
Dion Hinchcliffe, Executive Vice President, Strategy, Dachis Group
Employees have begun driving the use of consumer technology in the workplace—bringing their mobile devices, Web apps, and social networking experience with them from home—but the trend goes even deeper than that. It's a fundamental shift away from IT creating and managing the organization's IT assets to accepting that employees now own significant swaths of technology and will lead the enterprise march to the future. Noted IT thought leader and enterprise strategist Dion Hinchcliffe has watched organizations large and small struggle with this convergence of mobile, social, cloud and big data, and has helped them prevail in their quest to harness it for innovation to transform the way the enterprise does business. Dion will explore the new IT landscape and share his consumerization experiences in the field to set the stage for the CITE 2012 program by showcasing real-world companies that represent the new generation of IT and business.

Mobile Device Management: A Bank's Due Diligence Revealed
Tony Lalli, Infrastructure Architect, Bank of New York Mellon
Innovative groups in your organization want to exploit the new tablet form factor and use their smartphones at work—without giving up their favorite personal apps. That means policy, mobile device management (MDM) technology and governance. But with 50 MDM solutions and 10 tablet and smartphone vendors on the market, where do you start? Meet a leading IT architect, who conducted a thorough evaluation of all the options in 2011 before arriving at his recommendations for a 50,000-employee company. In this session, you will get a glimpse into his analysis of the MDM market, discuss the corporate vs. personal ownership model and foster group discussion around what has worked—and what hasn't—in mobile management for both the enterprise and end users.
Consumerization: Leverage the Potential, Manage the Chaos
Noah Broadwater, CTO, Sesame Workshop
Companies at the forefront of creating compelling consumer applications are often not ready for the impact these same applications and devices have inside the business. Sesame Workshop, the producer of Sesame Street, had developed for the iPhone, iPad, Android, XBOX Kinect and other platforms, and had leveraged social media among its customers. Yet it wasn't prepared to exploit these types of consumerization inside the enterprise and was overwhelmed by demand. Learn how Sesame got control of consumerization and established a pipeline of new initiatives to keep the ideas and consumer energy flowing.
