Vinay ~ Thanks for the feedback. As the consumer world view of having the information you want on the device you want it — wherever you happen to be — continues to grow, I think the workplace is well on its way in that direction. Today it’s mostly e-mail and calendars, but I think that’s just the appetizer plate. Whether data and applications live in public or private clouds, virtual desktops, or elsewhere, people will want and expect access to all the same tools and functionality they have “at their desks” wherever, on whatever, and whenever. And if that means I’m more able to access the information I need to solve a customer problem quickly or weigh in on a business decision, all the better. ~Kim

Hi Kim,

Great post on the next-gen workspace ? Whats your take on consumption of the applications and follow-me data in the context of the workspace ?

Does this prove the point that the world is flat, after all? I think that many are still having a hard time transitioning to the BYOD culture, because of security concerns and the likes. Are we seeing the evolution of a new workplace soon to unfold in HD? It’s already happening in a global scale and work is no longer defined by your office address; rather, it’s where you choose to work.

Am an E-Commerce student of the university of Ghana and this topic is of great interest to me. E commerce is beginning to gain grounds in sub- saharan Africa and will be keen on how this developments will roll out, particularly what their impact will be on businesses run in Africa.
