Employees Refusing to Use Clunky Enterprise Software

" Don’t look now, but many company employees are turning off their company-issued laptops and BlackBerrys. They prefer to use their personal devices—sleek, mobile and intuitive—rather than the company-sanctioned technologies perceived as outdated and hard to use. "

tendency of managers—especially younger ones—to bypass the big enterprise systems by using spreadsheets and cloud-based apps to operate their business functions
The IFS study shows that there’s a disconnect between the way software behaves in employees’ personal lives and the way it behaves in corporate America.

- Even more surprising, the survey shows that managers are less likely to take a job at a new company if they can’t use cloud-based apps and connect their personal devices to the new company’s enterprise systems.
- There’s no way for the CIO to complain about adhering to IT policies when fellow C-suite executives are the first to request easier access.

Device Ubiquity at Work and Play: Are We Ready?

"Interesting stat in The Telegraph about how employees are more productive if they use their own gadgets:

According to a YouGov survey, businesses who let employees use their own technology see productivity increases of up to 30 per cent.

That makes it more important than ever that technology is as good for the home as it is for the office – with 45 per cent of businesses already allowing employees to use their own computer equipment, the number of reasons to put up with poor kit are diminishing. […] in 50 per cent of cases, a personal device offers greater functionality or flexibility than the one provided by the employer."

Single purpose devices for work vs. play are starting to make less sense as well. But for CIOs, deciding whether to relinquish control of devices has more to it than just ignoring Dell or Apple’s sales call.
Consumer device proliferation has far exceeded the pace of enterprise software design for the most part and so, expect the opposite problem where its our software that can’t handle our hardware. Using our personal hardware is really going to expose how terrible our interfaces are in the enterpris

- This is far more critical. Historically, enterprise software has focused on a) Executive benefit and b) Manager benefit. This translated to: Get the right input forms and workflows in place with a database at the backend so you can control execution and monitor progress.
  
  But we’ve ignored a third wheel and that’s helping employees, customers and partners get-work-done, by focusing on their needs.
- In many cases, the get-work-done factor for employee/customer/partner hasn’t really been addressed in a meaningful way. That comes from a) re-thinking the process or activity from the end users perspective, b) a more balanced approach to catering to the needs of managers, executives and end users and c) leveraging state of the art hardware and software design innovation to make it happen.
- And I can tell you that increasingly, customers expect get-work-done facilities not only from stand alone social software vendors or start ups. But because the benefit comes from so much more than just collaboration or ‘social’, customers expect to see it from their CRM and HR and even ERP vendors.
- This third wheel in the enterprise software stack that delivers on the get-work-done promise is going to be the most compelling benefit that your organizations realize as you democratize the value of your technology investments beyond just the bean counters, LOB heads and line managers, and on to the do-ers.

AVOP : Apportez Vos Outils Personnels !

"BYOT : Bring Your Own Technology (Tools). Cette expression est utilisée en anglais pour définir une démarche innovante, qui commence, tout doucement, à se diffuser : les salariés d’une entreprise arrivent au bureau avec leurs propres outils, PC portables, smartphones ou tablettes."

IT consumerization tools BYOT AVOP

Dans une démarche AVOP, un salarié peut venir au bureau avec un outil qui lui appartient et l’utiliser pour tout ou partie de ses activités professionnelles.
Les principes AVOP sont simples :
- On fait confiance aux utilisateurs pour choisir les outils qui correspondent le mieux à leurs attentes.
- Ils utilisent les mêmes outils dans leurs activités professionnelles et personnelles.
- Les outils sont achetés, assurés et maintenus par les collaborateurs.
- L’entreprise participe au financement de ces outils

- Le salarié prend plus soin de ses outils personnels que de ceux de l’entreprise. Toutes les entreprises savent bien que les voitures de fonction ont plus de bosses que celles des salariés !
- L’entreprise réduit fortement ses investissements en informatique ; on passe d’un budget CAPEX (investissements) à un budget OPEX (Opérations).
- Le mythique TCO, Total Cost of Ownership, d’un poste de travail est immédiatement réduit. La majorité des cabinets d’étude, tels que le Gartner, estime que le TCO annuel d’un poste de travail est compris entre 3 000 et 4000 €.
  Chez Revevol le TCO d’un PC est de 600 € (50 €x12) ; en passant de 3600 à 600 €, Revevol économise 3000 € par personne et par an !
- Sur ce thème important, le pragmatisme s’impose : sécurité du poste de travail, sécurité des applications, sécurité des réseaux ... pour chacun de ces challenges, il est possible de trouver des réponses raisonnables qui permettent de «ne pas interdire» une démarche AVOP.
