Summary

The technology your firm's employees use every day is an enormous source of personal innovation and competitive advantage. Yet, the overwhelming direction of infrastructure and operations (I&O) pros over the past decade is one of increasing control and narrowing options for employees, in service to auditors and in fear of risk. It's time to put your single-OS, single-device mentality in the rearview mirror and make peace with the reality of the technology-diverse world. This report delivers strategic and practical guidance from Forrester's work with hundreds of firms globally that empower their workers to choose yet keep audit and security standards high. This report is an update of a previously published report; Forrester reviews and updates it periodically for continued relevance and accuracy; we substantially revised this edition to factor in a new notion in enabling technology for employees that will take hold over the next five years — agile workforce enablement.
