Managing technology, enabling business
Chris Marks (@ChrisJMarks) Past Life: Reading a book aloud Current Life: Writing down what I think people are saying & telling them it was my idea

Operating System Delivery –in-a-box Desktop Transformation Application Virtualisation Application Delivery
Oh, I give up! I just need to be able
to get my users doing what they
need to do and adapt to change
without me looking like an idiot!
@ChrisJMarks “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
My applications are out of
control!
My users are putting data
into Hades Dropbox!
It takes me a week to
provision a new
desktop!
I don’t know where
all my endpoints
are!
I need VDI,
right…?

Let me show you how easy it is…

used to tell lies

There must be a
better way…

Only half my applications
work
My SAN has melted
through the floor!
It takes me 5 minutes to
provision a new desktop
nobody can use!
Some new apps have
arrived. They’re not
working either?
Everybody hates me
& now I’ve got no
money!

This is NOT an IT Project

Determine Application
Scope
Define User Groups
