PM champs and their business manager community have always
concerned themselves with purposeful coordination…today they
suffer under process silos, limited collaboration, and task overload

The nexus of forces describes the convergence and mutual
reinforcement of four interdependent trends: social interaction,
mobility, cloud, and information. The forces combine to empower
individuals as they interact with each other and their information
through well-designed ubiquitous technology.

Changing Work Environment – Mobile Employees
Supporting a distributed workforce

Work from home
An increasingly mobile and distributed
workforce demands improved
collaboration
• 27% of workers spend at least 2 days
a week away from their primary
office location
• over half of information workers use
three or more devices for work
according to the
(Q2 2013 Forrester Forrsights
Workforce Survey)

Information Overload
Today employees send and
receive an estimated 110
emails a day, according to the
Radicati Group. That's
expected to increase to 125 by
2015.

Adapting to ‘millenial’ employees and The ‘Twitter’
generation
‘When tightly integrated into business
software of all kinds, social collaboration
will become an essential capability by
enabling people to resolve issues faster
and with less effort than other means of
communication.’
Rob Kugel – SVP research
Top Innovation priorities
• Analytics 74%
• Collaboration 59%
• Mobile 56%
• Cloud Computing 43%

The Cloud is upon us. The percentage of our customers
looking for cloud based solution is expected to increase 6 fold
by 2014!!
Rapid technology changes make obsolescence a constant risk
By 2014, IT organizations in 30% of Global 1000 companies will broker (aggregate,
integrate and customize) two or more cloud services for internal and external users,
up from 5% today
The cloud promises to deliver a range of benefits, including a shift from capital-
intensive to operational cost models, lower overall cost, greater agility and reduced
complexity. It can also be used to shift the focus of IT resources to higher-value-
added activities for the business, or to support business innovation and, potentially,
lower risks.
