<p><font size=2>Technology is changing the nature of work, and the workplace as well…it has become an increasingly challenging environment. A few things play into that challenge:</font>

<p><font size=2>· Demand for popular capabilities (social networks, IM, blogging, mashups, etc.) at work</font> 
<p><font size=2>· Sharing of enterprise data on public networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.)</font> 
<p><b><font size=2>Multigenerational workforce</font></b> 
<p><font size=2>· 3 generations – Boomers (b.1946-1962), GenX (1963-1980), Millennials (b.1981-2000) with different workstyles and attitudes toward technology</font>

<p><font size=2>· Most enterprises looking at hybrid cloud/on-premise deployments</font> 
<p><b><font size=2>Infrastructure cost and complexity</font></b> 
<p><font size=2>· Too many systems/vendors in data center</font> 
<p><font size=2>· Average $1 B company maintains 48 disparate financial systems</font> 
<p><font size=2>· Complicated by M&amp;A activity, need to maintain legacy systems</font> 
<p><b><font size=2>Diverse and distributed workforce</font></b> 
<p><font size=2>· Remote workers – 84% of organizations have a remote workforce</font>
