When we first started this Consumer Driven IT blog, the concept of bring your own device, or BYOD, was fast becoming the most commonly mentioned topic about IT consumerization. However, the notion of wanting to “bring your own device to work” was not very relevant to me, since my “work” location was my home. As a long-standing work-from-home individual though, I could certainly identify with many other aspects of the increasingly blurred lines between one’s personal and professional lives. Galen Gruman in his post this week outlines the advantages and disadvantages of working from home, many of which depend on the specific policies of your employer. I happen to be lucky to work for one who has a formal program that minimizes many (although not...

CA Technologies in the UK hosted its CA Expo event at The Brewery, in London, on Thursday 22 June and so I spent a very interesting and enjoyable day with many of our customers, including British Airways , Nationwide, TNT , Atos , Vnetrix and Atkins Global ; as well as Peter Hinssen, Director, Across Technology. The main purpose of the event was to explore some of the megatrends that are shaping IT, to share best practice and of course talk to as many of the 800 + attendees as I could, which wasn't an easy task! Nonetheless, I did sit in on some stimulating presentations. CA Technologies Executive Vice President and Group Executive, Enterprise Solutions and Technology, Peter Griffiths, gave a very interesting keynote on "Driving Business...

This article originally appeared on Smart Enterprise Exchange . Paul Klein of Smart Enterprise Exchange interviewed Jonathan Kissane, Senior VP, Corporate Development, CA Technologies. Here is part of the Q&A. We often hear about the need for IT and business leaders to communicate better and to learn about each other’s roles. Rarely, though, do we get a business executive’s perspective. It was particularly insightful, therefore, to speak recently with Jonathan Kissane, SVP Corporate Development at CA Technologies. For the past three years, Jon has “kept the pulse” of trends in the high-tech industry, with an eye toward possible merger-and-acquisition targets. He and his team have led the M&A process across CA Technologies’ businesses...

Get Ready for BYOS: ‘Bring Your Own Spacecraft’ to Work

Published: June 26 2012, 11:49 AM | no comments
by Jackie Kahle

The Economist recently conducted a panel featuring business leaders discussing consumer driven IT . One of the Economist’s panelists was Dr. Alan Weston, Director of Programs at NASA Ames Research Center . He shared several innovative ways NASA is using consumer driven technology to advance space exploration, while making satellite R&D much more cost efficient. Several things stuck with me after watching the Economist’s interview with Dr. Weston. In the era of consumer driven IT, it’s hard to imagine any major institution shying away from social media as a means to engage its audiences and promote its mission. But American Astronaut and Commander of the International Space Station Douglas Wheelock was reluctant to use his Twitter account...
