Introducing <strong>the</strong> New EMC Team<br />
<strong>The</strong> Enterprise<br />
Mobility &<br />
Collaboration<br />
team (or EMC<br />
<strong>for</strong> short!) is a<br />
new team<br />
which<br />
comprises 10<br />
people and<br />
has been<br />
created as part<br />
of <strong>the</strong><br />
In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

Led by Kris Glover in his role as<br />

Manager, <strong>the</strong> EMC team has a wide<br />
remit, with a broad spectrum of<br />
responsibilities - all of which focus on<br />
improving <strong>the</strong> overall business through<br />
<strong>the</strong> design and implementation of<br />
enterprise wide Mobile and<br />
Collaborative Business Solutions.<br />
Starting with <strong>the</strong> 6S Vision and<br />
working right <strong>the</strong> way through to <strong>the</strong><br />
‘shovel in <strong>the</strong> ground’, <strong>the</strong> EMC team<br />
will be looking to identify any area<br />
that can be improved through <strong>the</strong> use<br />
of <strong>the</strong>se new technologies.<br />
This starts with gaining a full<br />
understanding of both client and<br />
industry drivers, as well as carrying out<br />
detailed business analysis to determine<br />
which technologies could add value to<br />
<strong>the</strong> organisation and its clients. <strong>The</strong> team<br />
will also liaise with o<strong>the</strong>r departmental<br />
managers on a regular basis to ensure<br />
that <strong>the</strong>y are kept in<strong>for</strong>med, and to<br />
ga<strong>the</strong>r feedback and additional ideas<br />
from within <strong>the</strong> business.<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r areas in which <strong>the</strong> team will be<br />
getting involved include business<br />
process modelling and architecture,<br />
operational support <strong>for</strong> solutions which<br />
<strong>the</strong> business is already using - <strong>for</strong><br />
example Mobile-i - software development,<br />
and general ongoing research and<br />
development within <strong>the</strong> mobile and<br />
collaborative technology arena.<br />

business areas over <strong>the</strong> coming weeks,<br />
if we haven’t done so already, to<br />
introduce <strong>the</strong> team - and we are also<br />
keen to invite people to contact us<br />
with ideas and suggestions <strong>for</strong><br />
potential improvements!<br />
