Almost half of the organisations participating in the workshop are already deploying Windows 7; the remainder are leading up to this stage. Deployment can take several years across a large estate, and it is necessary to allow at least a year for testing and to get everything right. In order to catch the 2014 deadline, organisations need to be on top of the challenges and prepared for all the application rationalisation, testing and training involved in a roll out.
Has there been a major shift to Windows 7 in the enterprise as the press has hyped or is there still a corporate place for Windows XP (out of mainstream support since 2009 and due to fall out of extended support in 2014)?
19% of the global IT workforce are expected to be using Windows 7 by the end of 2010, but towards the end of 2011 Corporate IT Professionals can now evaluate whether Windows 7 has lived up to all of the hype and discuss the challenges encountered in their real-world enterprise deployments. Microsoft's warranty costs contribute towards a massive driver to get off an unsupported platform, as will any essential enterprise tools that will only run on Windows 7.
With many new features and benefits sold to the business, this workshop presented a platform for early adopters to highlight features that won't work in certain enterprise environments, and identify potential pitfalls, issues relating to virtualisation, compatibility and user engagement.

This Information Security Service Supplier Governance workshop had been chosen as a priority topic by The tISS Leadership Board and was identified and developed through research, surveys and member input.
Supplier management, procurement, and supplier relationship management are common in many large organisations. Aligned to these, supplier governance deals with the security and governance aspects of how the organisation manages its suppliers, including how security is included in contracts and compliance audited.
There were two case studies: one gave an approach to the ongoing security assessment of suppliers, and the other dealt with measurement including the measurability of contract security clauses, and a novel but simple approach to measuring the 'return on investment' of the supplier relationship.
In depth discussion of experiences and practices covered topics such as business and supplier engagement, assessment and selection, measurement, audit and compliance, and the methodologies and standards used.
The workshop hosted by The Corporate IT Forum was attended by 24 people representing 19 organisations from a wide cross-section of enterprises including financial services, councils, pharmaceuticals, government bodies and agencies, retail and manufacturing.

Download the Executive Summary from this Corporate IT Forum workshop. Government bodies are under pressure to reduce their costs. Often they are in the public spotlight. Two ways this can be achieved are by service sharing within government, and by sharpening the approach to procurement and supplier management.
In a complex world of changing technologies, organisations are having to work harder to understand how to monitor, manage and reduce their licence costs for software procurement. They also need to know whether their procurement processes are delivering value for money in a globalised world.
Executive Summary
Management of user desktops has always presented challenges for those responsible for IT in organisations. A variety of execution models and management concepts has attempted to tackle these challenges, each with varying degrees of success. The advent of desktop, server and application virtualisation has made this challenge more complex, especially in reducing the total cost of ownership.
As a result of the recent economic climate, many IT departments postponed their plans to refresh their desktops.
However, the tide now seems to be turning and this is now an area that is creating more interest as the economy stabilises.
Data centre moves are infrequent. Few people in the organisation will have recent prior experience of them.
Reaching a threshold level of some constraint such as power, air conditioning, or floor space usually triggers a move to or the creation of a new data centre. They are significant projects and need careful planning: dependencies must be identified, the sequence of migration determined, the impact on software licences uncovered, and the actual migration approach decided, which may or may not involve outsourcing (or even insourcing).
The IT Forum ‘Integrating IT with Business Requirements’ discussion enabled senior IT professionals working in IT and project management roles to discuss how best to align IT and business strategy, and to drive closer integration and engagement between the IT department and the rest of the organisation.
