The new information architecture focuses on the knowledge worker with their network of colleagues, clients and other partners in the chain. Knowledge workers must be able to access their information, share it with others and edit and combine it anyplace, anytime.
Virtual working environments ensure your employees are all directly connected and able to cooperate spontaneously. Adaptive IT not only enhances your ability to change, but also leads to radical reduction in costs and energy demand.
The virtualisation of infrastructure – also called adaptive IT – decouples applications and infrastructure. The infrastructure is then rebuilt from scratch in a way that enables applications to most efficiently utilise available capacity. Capacity can be expanded or reduced as necessary. Virtualisation can be applied to the workstation, but also to servers, storage, network, operating system and other components. It manifests itself ultimately in cloud computing, in which the infrastructure is almost invisible to the user and is completely shared with other users.
The conventional workplace is becoming WorkPlace 2.0, where users are able to work with access to all relevant information anyplace, anytime. A workplace that adapts itself to the medium, and that is fully secured and managed behind the scenes.
