Texting. Smartphones. Tablets. Oh my! Business Communications in a Mobile World A lot has changed in the way we communicate for business. A decade ago, most organizations had employees who came to the office every day, used desktop computers and desk phones, and stopped communicating for work when they went home.

Today, people communicate for work anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Per Forrester, sixty-six percent of employees use two or more mobile devices for work. And according to Frost & Sullivan, nearly 25 percent of employees work from home or the road. What’s more, the desk phone is not the only business device. Based on a RingCentral survey, 35 percent of employees are using their mobile phones for work even when they are in the office. And nearly 80 percent of employees text for business, with 32 percent reporting that they’ve even closed a business deal via text.

Even with these undeniable business behavior changes, the vast majority of companies haven’t optimized their communications infrastructure for mobile workforces or BYOD.

Join this webinar to get ahead of the pack and learn the benefits of a cloud communications solution that supports the new world of work.

•Understand the trends driving mobility and behavior changes in the work place, with Melanie Turek, VP of Research for Enterprise Communication & Collaboration, Frost & Sullivan.
•Get the real story from a business that has addressed their mobility needs first hand from Adam Fishman, director of growth and operations for Lyft, a community ride-sharing service.
•Hear how a cloud communications solution is addressing several challenges businesses face in the new work world from Nisha Ahluwalia, VP of product marketing at RingCentral.

  • Enterprise Storage moving toward the cloud requires an interoperable interface foundation to avoid vendor lock-in and provide choice. This tutorial will provide an overview of the features of a Enterprise cloud storage standard and explain how interoperability between clouds is achieved.

    What should you be requiring from your cloud vendors?
    How can you expect standards to roll out in implementations?

    Learning Objectives
    How this cloud storage standard can achieve interoperability and what this interoperability means to you.
    How you can use the cloud storage standard both internally for private clouds as well as for public clouds.
  • The myth is that integration takes weeks to build and deploy, not minutes. Join this live demo and follow along as we show how to integrate SaaS and on-premise applications at cloud speed. Don’t forget to bring your stopwatch to test whether this is myth is confirmed or busted.

    This MuleSoft event will cover:

    Creating a CloudHub account
    Configuring a message queue to Salesforce integration flow
    Deploying integration to CloudHub
    Monitoring performance from CloudHub Insight

    The demo will be followed by a Q&A session.
  • Odds are you have heard the hype about private and public clouds over the last 18-24 months. You may even have a business directive to move more of your IT infrastructure to cloud and are exploring ideas on how to do that successfully.

    Register for this webinar to learn from specific use cases for the cloud that highlight successful deployments applicable to both private and public implementations.
  • When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.
  • Cloud promises elastic, capacity on demand. But, the explosion of data, research platforms and computational challenges continues to create strain on IT resources. Cost-effectively leveraging limited resources is particularly difficult for compute-intensive industries such as Life Science, Engineering, Retailing, Manufacturing or Oil & Gas. How do you to align performance compute directly to project periods and technology refresh cycles so that you can optimize resources and take advantage of the fastest compute technology available?

  • Few industries are exposed to the kind of regulation rigor that exists today in healthcare. HIPAA places tight regulations on electronic patient health information (ePHI), and as more data is digitally managed, providers have experience increasing costs and risks associated with ePHI management. The emergence of community clouds in the healthcare industry have provided a more sustainable and scalable model . With consumers demanding greater responsiveness and transparency from their providers and suppliers, there is much that businesses in other sectors can learn from the success of healthcare community clouds. We will showcase a case study of King’s Daughters Medical as an example of one company’s experience and the value they have realized.

    Join this webinar to:
    - Discover the risks, vulnerabilities, and challenges facing providers who must be HIPAA-compliant.
    - Learn the role that secure, cloud-based computing can play in helping healthcare organizations.
    - Understand how Dell Cloud Dedicated and community cloud strategies can help your business

Cloud sounds like the perfect solution, but how can you ensure your data is safe?

    At Dell, we understand these business challenges. Join us to find out how Dell Cloud Service for SharePoint safely allows customers to experience the full capabilities of the most powerful enterprise collaboration software without having to acquire, standup and maintain the required infrastructure.

  • Developers have gained considerable power within companies and are now making key architectural decisions like the programing language(s), platform (OS), middleware as well as how data is stored. Given that it is the developer’s software that drives business advantage, it comes as no surprise that they have become the respected partners of the business, perhaps at the expense of central IT, in leading the company’s defacto cloud strategy. However, in order to really drive the scale of innovation that provides a sustainable competitive advantage – developers and business leaders cannot go it alone, they must work together with IT. While the goals of developers and IT operations often seem at odds, organizations must seek to reduce these conflicts or risk impeding the pace of innovation. Join this session to discover how understanding the needs of each side and leveraging the processes, tools and procedures that underlie “DevOps,” will enable both teams to work together to better serve the business and ultimately the customer.

    In this session you will learn about:
    - How developers rose to power
    - The key principles, tools and procedures of DevOps
    - How working together helps reduces friction, increases velocity and improves customer outcomes
    - How developers, IT and business can work together to implement and drive innovation through the Cloud
