Workspace Transformation 

With the ability for users to bring their own device, work collaboratively online and from any location on any device, on paper the implementation of a workspace transformation solution should tick all the boxes for your business, making you business more efficient, however  in reality this can cause many issues for the IT because you may not know what applications or devices your users are using, where they are storing it or who they are sharing it with but ultimately the responsibility of all this data is yours.  Barry discusses solutions that can make the job for the IT team easier and more controlled.
