    CAN MICROSOFT MAP THE FUTURE OF IT? Microsoft’s Evolving App Strategy Microsoft is trying to better align its applications through a new interface and improved cloud connectivity. Is this the right strategy? BY BRIEN M. POSEY THE NEW INTERFACE WHERE RT AND OFFICE FIT CLOUD CONNECTIVITY CAN MICROSOFT MAP THE FUTURE OF IT? VER THE PAST two decades, Microsoft’s strategy for desktop and mobile ap- plications has remained relatively static. Microsoft devoted much of its energy to creating operating systems and allowed applications to develop almost as an afterthought. THE NEW Even today the company adheres to this haphazard approach to applications. INTERFACE O At the same time, the company’s most recent product-release cycle demonstrates that Microsoft’s support for desktop and mobile apps is evolving. WHERE RT AND OFFICE FIT When it comes to application support in the company’s latest releases, two major themes have emerged: the new tile-based user interface (UI) and cloud con- nectivity. While both of these technologies benefit a segment of Microsoft’s cus- CLOUD CONNECTIVITY tomer base, they have also created numerous challenges for IT professionals. In particular, the new Windows 8 interface has been an impediment to adop- tion among business users, but it is part of a concerted effort on Microsoft’s part to build consistency throughout its application set. Despite this imperfect strat- egy, there are signs that the approach is pointing Microsoft in a direction that al- lows business users to productively use Windows, Office and other applications on PCs, tablets and smartphones. 2 MICROSOFT’S EVOLVING APP STRATEGY THE NEW INTERFACE WINDOWS’ NEW INTERFACE The most well-known element of the Windows 8 operating system is the new user interface (which at one time was called the Metro interface and is now known as the Windows 8-style UI).

  • Tablets in the Enterprise: Comparing the Total Cost of Ownership
    TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE: COMPARING THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Windows 8 tablets provide a PC experience, which for many workers is essential to maintaining productivity. With Windows 8, users can run familiar desktop applications, maintaining productivity without having to find new ways to carry out their tasks. They can read, edit, and print their emails and Office documents—tasks that can be a challenge on other tablets. In addition to these productivity advantages, Intel Core i5 processor and Windows 8 tablets can provide enterprises with total cost of ownership (TCO) savings of up to 18 percent compared to other tablets. We expect additional TCO savings with Intel Core vPro™ processor-based tablets due to their additional manageability capabilities. We estimate tablets with Intel Architecture and Windows 8 will have lower TCO than other tablets, primarily due to the following: reduced software costs lower management costs improved end-user productivity JANUARY 2013 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES WHITE PAPER Commissioned by Intel Corp. TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP OF TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE In this paper, we first present a TCO analysis for a hypothetical enterprise considering four major categories of tablets for their employees: Microsoft Windows 8 tablets, Windows RT tablets, Android tablets, and Apple iPads. Because the ranges of prices and capabilities differ among models within each category, we selected a single representative model for each. Following this analysis, we discuss the dominant issues in enterprise tablet computing as of this writing. We base our TCO analysis on the primary assumptions in Figure 1. Tablets must be nine inches or larger with 64 GB of storage and Wi-Fi support.

Traditionally, communication devices did not allow for secure communications. It relied on users to say we're going to enable these things as an afterthought. But the users had to know to do that. Well, Apple has said we're going to secure the device for you a little bit. So, the VPN feature within iOS is always on by default. And so, when my phone connects to a Wi-Fi network, when my phone-- when I send emails, for example, that VPN technology is going to protect my communication over that Wi-Fi, over Page 2 of 7 that wireless network and prevent eavesdropping and modification of my data. Now, another feature that we have is activation lock. Theft of smartphones has been a booming area of crime over the last couple of years.
