Seminar 15P - Maximize Your Efficiency: The New Leveraged Services Model for Desktop Computing (separate registration required)

Today's computing model isn't defined by devices like PCs, tablets, or smartphones but by a context-aware, user-centric environment that deemphasizes devices and delivers applications and data in line with users' desires and device capabilities. The new model provides a framework that redefines the current practices and common standards, delivering an easy-to-manage, integrated workplace experience that comprehends context and actionable content and reduces IT expenditures at the commodity layer. You will (1) explore design and programming methodologies that automate software; (2) review technology and live demos delivering a hosted and streamed application model; (3) examine new life-cycle costing models; (4) learn how IUanyWare empowers users to manage their own enterprise and cloud-based storage solutions; and (5) examine an enterprise-leveraged services model to manage user profiles and computers and deliver operating systems, printing, and storage. Lessons learned and group roundtable discussions will give you the tools you need to significantly reduce expenditures in the management of commodity desktop services.
