Matrix42 and Forrester Research examine evolution of IT and its impact on dynamic workplaces

Oct. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Matrix42 (www.matrix42.com) today announced it has teamed up with Forrester Research to create an event looking at the inevitable evolution of the workplace.  The way in which employees work has changed and IT Management needs to evolve to support more agile and mobile workstyles to attract and retain key staff. Attendees will learn from keynote speaker Henning Dransfeld, Senior Analyst for Mobile Enterprise Services of Forrester Research, how to manage this mobile mindshift in the enterprise.

The Forrester presentation will examine how the future workplace will need to be fully flexible. Users will have the expectation that any desired information, service or app is available, on any device, in context, at the precise moment it is needed.  According to Forrester, 12% of information workers now work from a public place at least once per week and 21% use a tablet for work. These trends and more are set to radically change IT priorities and require a different approach to IT service management.

The event will look at current challenges such as managing the diversity of the Windows universe, the proliferation of mobile devices and the complex management of cloud environments. It will also delve into future trends such as IT management convergence and the consumerization of IT.  By anticipating the impact of these trends you can future proof your IT strategy and plan on how to manage the evolution of the IT workplace.

Oliver Bendig, Vice President of Product Management at Matrix42 says, “Over 600 people attended the evolution event in Europe and I am genuinely excited by the panel of speakers that we have assembled in London. The presentations will show attendees how IT workplace management is evolving. It will demonstrate how to cope with users expectations that they can work in public places, on the road or at home, using whatever device best matches their requirements.  It is clear that IT needs to create an enterprise mobility strategy that defines how they will deliver the future mobile workplace experience whilst establishing rules and policies for compliance and security infrastructure.”

‘Evolution of the Dynamic Workplace’ is a free event on 19th November at Skyloft, Millbank Tower. The 28th floor venue offers stunning views across some of London’s most famous landmarks whilst providing delegates with newly published research from Forrester and strategies for the workplace of the future.  Delegates will learn what they can do today to meet the IT challenges and requirements of tomorrow.

Key benefits of attending include:

- Discovering how to bridge the gap between the IT of today and the fully future proofed IT of tomorrow
- Understanding how to meet your users demands for more agile and flexible IT services
- Learning from best practice presentations on implementing effective workplace management solutions
- Entering a draw to win a brand new Playstation 4, the must have gadget in the run up to Christmas 2013!
