Computer Sciences Corporation CTO financial services EMEA, Tom
Rogerson, talks to Computer Weekly's Warwick Ashford about the
consumerisation of IT - the introduction of consumer technology and
consumer IT-usage habits into the workplace.
Rogerson discusses how businesses are responding to the trend,
to mitigate threats and exploit the opportunities it presents.
Topics include: security, instant messaging, shadow IT, grid and
cloud computing, de-perimiterisation, spam filtering, Yahoo!,
Amazon, corporate IT, consumer IT, lockdown, the risks of
dependency on consumerised applications for strategic assets, and
how IT professionals need to become "yes, and..." rather than "no,
but..." in order to manage the risks.
