This is a time of tremendous change for IT organizations everywhere. Intel IT realized we need to enable enterprise applications to support the devices of today (touch) and also develop the applications so they are ready for the next big thing (voice and gesture). We’ve kicked-off a new initiative that focuses on accelerating delivery of applications to our business partners and employees on their mobile platform(s) of choice.

- 3. 3 Preparing for the Future This is a time of tremendous change for IT organizations everywhere. Factors influencing the way we work: • We now live in a world of multiple devices across multiple platforms. • Alternative input methods, such as touch, voice, and gesture are now available. • Consumerization of IT/bring-your-own are changing how employees work and what they expect from IT. • The cloud is real and changing the way we provide services to our users. • There is an increased need for connectivity across all devices and communities. A positive user experience is the key to success. We see this change as an opportunity for Intel IT.
- 4. 4 New Touch-enabled Devices are Driving Change We foresee touch becoming a primary input method for enterprise applications. Over time, Intel employees will require touch capabilities to perform their daily jobs. Consumerization and bring-your-own (BYO) will also continue to increase demand for touch capabilities. Intel has embraced IT consumerization and is committed to delivering enterprise services on BYO devices with the same flexibility that users expect on their corporate-owned device. 90% In a recent survey, the majority of Intel employees (90%) stated a desire for touch-enabled devices.
- 5. 5 Intel IT and Touch-enabled Devices Intel IT is accelerating deployment of touch- enabled devices including business Ultrabook™ devices and Intel® architecture-based tablets. We have chosen Microsoft Windows* 8 as the primary OS for these devices. Not just a traditional OS update, Windows 8 represents a significant shift in device interaction, focusing on touch. By deploying touch-enabled devices with Windows 8 now, we are better prepared for the future.
- 6. 6 Optimizing Applications for Users We realize we need to enable enterprise applications to support the devices of today (touch) and also develop applications ready for the next big thing (voice and gesture). Our 2013 goals: • Evolve 10% of our enterprise application portfolio to meet defined criteria, focusing on applications that will have the greatest business impact. • Provide our users with applications that are multi-OS, multi-browser, and multi-input. Today’s users expect the data is there on the device they’ve chosen, and it just works.
- 7. 7 A Focused Initiative will Move Us Forward We are focusing on accelerating delivery of applications to our business partners and employees on their platform(s) of choice. We accelerate application development that meet 5 key criteria. Criteria User Experience Security and Audit My data and identity are protected. User Experience My application is intuitive and easy to use. Platform My application is accessible and works on my choice of platform. Device Capability My application takes advantage of my device and my device features. Interact and Evolve My application supports emerging devices and interactions (such as touch, voice, and gesture).
- 8. 8 Improving the Entire Application Ecosystem Our initiative covers more than just application development. Every element of the ecosystem contributes to the end-user experience. We want the user to have the most positive interaction/experience, including the security software, device connectivity, and applications. We are looking at all areas for ways to improve the user experience.
- 9. 9 Elements of the End-to-end Application Delivery Ecosystem • Back-end infrastructures and service models • Developer tools and practices, app framework/standards, validation, developer experience • The applications themselves (business solutions) • The client platform (browser + OS + device) • Human interfaces such as touch, voice, and gesture Cloud and Infrastructure Developers Applications Platform User Experience and Human Interface
- 10. 10 Improving the End-to-end Developer Experience To support our developers, we are focusing on removing obstacles and providing across-the- board tools to increase their productivity and efficiency. New tools to help application development include: • Updated Application Development Lifecycle. Improve the testing of solutions across multiple devices. • The IT Developer Zone. Connect teams, experts, and content. The Zone is a collaboration and training portal: a working prototype of a multi-platform reference design, with code samples, reusable libraries, and how-to documentation. Process Improvement Design and Coding Validation and TestingReusable Building Blocks Developer Skills Professional Community
- 11. 11 Conclusion With the advent of many alternative form factors and input methods—including touch— we needed a more flexible approach that supports appropriate services across a range of devices. We are moving forward and building the foundation for this vision by: • Examining and improving all levels of our infrastructure. • Deploying hardware that takes advantage of new input methods, including business Ultrabook™ devices and Intel® architecture-based tablets with Microsoft Windows* 8. • Creating new tools and sharing best-known methods with our developer community to improve their efficiency. By encouraging the development and transformation of Intel IT applications that are secure, easy to use, cross-platform capable, and able to take advantage of device capabilities and input methods, we are best positioning ourselves for the future. * Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
