- Notes – mandatory slide (3 min)Modern Workspace is a new way of thinking about how to enable total business flexibility so your people can collaborate freely, and they can access all the information they require to do there jobs, whilst working anywhere, anytime, on a range of devices Think mobility and bring your own device (BYOD), think innovative collaboration tools like video conferencing and unified communicationsOffering a more modern workspace will make you a more agile businessA modern workspace is likely to increase employee productivity with your people being able to collaborate more effectively and efficiently no matter where they areAnd working when and how they want (and often faster) on their own more modern devicesIt will help you to save on overhead costs, such as property, as employees can hot desk or work remotely. Further savings could be realised if they work on their own devices in their own timeWe asked a few IT experts and CIO’s at the CIO Summit 2012 how they viewed modern workspace for their business and this is what they said.

Please note, you will need to ensure you have internet access to play this video and any to follow, and please click ‘full screen’ when you are in the video, this is bottom right icon of the video square. When offering a modern workspace, it’s important to work with a provider who can help you manage, secure and support a modern workspace. Updating usage policies, processes and training for your employees, as well as IT support staff, is one way to reduce the business risk associated with the likes of offering a BYOD policySome of you may have visited our Modern Workspace Innovation Centres to see and play with the technology behind a modern and flexible workspace. Later during the Bizgo programme, you will hear about new developments in this space and how you can get your business involved if you are not already embracing the advantages of a modern workspace
- Notes – optional slide (3 min)There is a quote about BYOD we think is quite accurate – ‘do it, or have it done to you’. Many organisations are unaware of exactly how many staff are using their own devices – and what they are using them forIf you can do it securely and in a planned fashion, there are plenty of advantagesOpening your door to mobility or policy managed BYOD allows your people to access all the information they require to do there jobs, whilst working anywhere, anytime, on a device of their choice Being a mobility/BYOD friendly business is likely to increase employee productivity with your people working when and how they want (and often faster) on their own more modern devices – as it caters to the way people want to work, it will help you to recruit and retain the best talentIt injects greater flexibility into your business and will help you to save on overhead costs, such as property, as employees hot desk or work remotely such as in their own home - hardware costs too as they work on their own devices in their own timeWe asked a few IT experts and CIO’s at the CIO Summit 2012 how they use BYOD in their business and this is what they said.Area Manager play video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynzn6pxmvaQ (1 min 12 seconds)When offering a BYOD policy its important to work with a provider who can help you manage, secure and support it. At Gen-i we offer a Managed Mobility service that does just that.Area Manager: If you are going to choose the optional Managed Mobility slide, add here ‘which I will soon talk about’There is also a growing demand by today’s workforce to access the technologies and social applications they use in their personal lives at workConsumer technology and trends such as social networking (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) are also becoming tools in which many businesses are now using to engage with their clients. There is a demand being driven by both your workforce and your clients to make use of new forms of communicationOur security and management solutions can help protect your business information to help you enable these new ways of working (and engaging with your clients)
- Notes – optional slide (3 min)Gen-i Managed Mobility allows you to empower your people to benefit from rapidly evolving mobile technology without reliance on investment in internal systems, people, or supportWhen you enable mobility for your people you give them flexibility (such as BYOD options), but you also open the door to a plethora of devices and network bills with the spreading of data borders and costs - a potential IT, security and admin headacheThis is why it is important to work with a provider who can help you manage, secure and support mobility and BYODGen-i's Managed Mobility service allows IT teams to quickly enrol new devices into their environment, configure, and update device settings over-the-air, enforce security policies such as mandatory passwords and compliance, secure mobile access to corporate resources and importantly, remotely lock and wipe devicesWith over eight major Smartphone operating systems available it can be challenging to provide high quality end-user support. Our team of experts are close to the device ranging process and will always be ahead of the curve in terms of expert support for major operating systemsMobile carrier charges make up only 44% of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for mobility. Many businesses also incur significant hidden support costs. Gen-i Managed Mobility is charged as a per-user, per-month fee that enables you to easily budget and control costs

- Notes – optional slide (3 min)If you attended last years ICT Conference you would have heard us talk about Ultra Fast Broadband and the solutions using fibre to maximise greater speeds and outcomesOur local providers presented their roll out plans which are now underway across the country - most corporate locations will be covered by fibre by 2014We expect a significant proportion of our clients will migrate their networks to fibre connections in the next two yearsWhy? Well fibre is a powerful and essential infrastructure that enables you to deliver services which shift the way your business works. Taking advantage of the current rollout of fibre across New Zealand will help you boost productivity, improve flexibility and robustness, increase the speed of innovation, and cut costsAs New Zealand lights up with fibre, our services are expanding so you can take full advantage of this new access type, some of which I have mentioned already – visual communications, unified communications, cloud computing, and remote access and virtual contact centres.

- Notes – mandatory slide (3 min)Area Manager please use this please use this slide to provide a local perspective to any key issues, trends, developments – or some examples of how you are helping local clients to engage the future of business. Use video or images if possible. See example below.As an example: New Data CentreWe’ve set up a $10.5 million data centre at the Christchurch International Airport campus. The airport company will build the data centre to Gen-i specifications, and Gen-i will lease the premises from CIAL. Boutique consulting company Canterbury-based Data Centre Design and Build (DCDB) will contribute specialist data centre mechanical and electrical design and fit-out services, and testing and commissioning of the new facility. The new data centre will be built to the latest building code and seismic standards on a site at Perimeter Road, chosen for its geological stability relative to the greater Christchurch area. Gen-i's facility is due to open in halfway through this year. It will be carrier neutral and will be able to house up to 180 racks across two data halls. DCDB director Ian Falconer said the firm was pleased to be involved in the development of Gen-i's new data centre. ''We provided the initial concept design and have worked closely with Gen-i to complete the full building and fit out design. ''Our focus is on ensuring the new data centre will be as energy efficient as possible, while maintaining industry standards of resilience for the power and cooling supply." The new data centre will expand Gen-i's existing network of 14 data centres in cities and regional centres, linked by fibre, copper and mobile networks. It will complement Gen-i's two existing Christchurch data centres in Hereford Street and Hillmorton, helping to meet increased demand from clients looking to relocate their infrastructure to Gen-i data centres. Gen-i Australasia acting chief executive Jo Allison said ICT services such as cloud, mobility, video and collaboration were particularly relevant to Canterbury businesses needing to find new ways of connecting with their staff and clients in a post-quake environment.
