In this white paper, Getronics examines cloud governance, with particular focus on how cloud-specific governance becomes an integral element of overall IT and business governance models.

Getronics Believes that a genuinely New Way of Working is beginning to emerge. The organisations which benefit will be those who take time to stop and examine what is happening. The New Way of Working is integral to Getronics' thinking and action.

All organizations are now looking to the cloud as a possible model for enterprise IT delivery. Zero -capex, pay-per-use and radical scalability become the incentives.

Even ten years ago, the divide between the world of work and the world outside work was much more distinct than it is today.

Corporate social responsibility is now high-profile for all public and private sector organisations. In pursuit of credible CSR positioning, organisations must avoid fluffy and unsubstantiated messaging.

Employees decide more and more where, when and how to work. Employees are ready and asking for a new way of working with latest workspace tools and facilities for anytime anywhere working.

It is now eighteen months since KPN acquired Getronics. A keen focus on workspace management and telecommunications has been a planned outcome of the combination.

Getronics is keenly focused on the new world of work - on understanding how organizations can rethink ICT to fit the individual employee. How can you adopt and manage technology to make the greatest possible contribution to personal productivity?

After the decision to outsource ICT facilities, an intensive process is often initiated. Consultancy firms are hired to assist the organization in their quest to find a suitable supplier who best fits the needs of the customer.

Inside every enterprise, there are hundreds or even thousands of off-the-shelf and bespoke applications running every day. The cost and complexity of managing these essential business resources has become a serious burden.

It is now around ten years since open source software first appeared on the professional IT landscape. A lot has happened since then.

This document describes the Getronics position towards Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

We see a new way of working beginning to emerge driving some big changes in the world of ICT support. These are particularly noticeable in the way your employees access and exploit the support they need.
