17. Android dominates Phones / Tablets rising

18. Big Brands are challenged and disappearing
Who is next?

21. A global trust crisis
» Wiretapping and surviellance everywhere
» Backdoors everywhere
» Encryption Software not trustworthy
» Even Open Source?
» Information gathered by different services
and used (at least) for
» Terrorism Protection
» General Intelligence
» Industrial Espionage

22. Consequences?
» Bruce Schneier: „Closed-source software is easier
for the NSA to backdoor than open-source
software.“
» Caspar Bowden (Microsofts former Chief Privacy
Advisor): „I don't trust Microsoft“ and uses only
Open Source Software
» Friedrich (former german minister of the interior): "I
just had more important topics“

23. Many views do not work as they used to
» The classic Intel-PC / Microsoft fades
» There will be more players
» Single vendor strategies become very risky
» The cloud has its own challanges
» It's risky to continue as before and it's risky to change things
» Uncertainty is Rising …

24. What is a paradigm shift?
» There are more and more „anomalies“ found, where
» Our theories do not work anymore
» Our actions do not lead to the expected results
» This leads to a high level of uncertainty
» New approaches and theories are being tested
Source: Wikipedia
» Proponents of „the new“ and „the Old“ are fighting each other
» Eventually a new theory emerges
» More and new options and possibilites develop
» New actions arise
» This finally leads to more success
» The shift typically happens quite fast, not as a slow process

27. Finding the right strategy
» We already have an idea, what will happen
» Cloud Computing
» Mobile
» Social
» Big Data
» But we do not know exactly how
» There is a huge potiental for new / small / unknown vendors
» There is a lot of potential for your organization
» Commoditization
» Lower prices
» New possibilities

28. The Answer is Openness
» All Services and Components of your IT should be available from
different vendors
» Use Open Standards and Open file formats
» There have to be documented and feasible ways to migrate data and
processes
» Software used in the cloud has to be available on its own
» Only Open Source Software
» Can be scrutinized for security holes or backdoors
» Will remain available
» Can be adapted without assent of the vendor
» Can be used in the cloud, on-premises, hybrid …

29. It is our committment to make this possible!
But that's not all ...

30. We will
» be the best solution to run and manage corporate IT
» continue to deliver openess, integration and control
» make hybrid scenarios secure and easy
» Push usability to new dimensions
Choice
Control
Cloud

34. Our Vision
» An open, reliable platform for enterprise IT
» On Premises
» In the cloud
» Hybrid
» An integration platform for enterprise applications
» A One-Stop-Shop
» Enabling cloud computing through choice and control
» as easy as IT should be!

35. Thank you!
