De-routinization. You know, all of us as human beings we don't want to do routines. If we
have a routine, we can use other processes, even robots or whatever, to automate those
processes. What makes us, you know, special is what unique concepts, unique ideas, unique
insights, that we can integrate some of those concepts and not do the routine, but do something
really spectacular and innovative. The other reality is the day, and how much
we interact with computing devices, is only going up. Almost all of us, and the statistics
show that of information workers, I think most all of us here, have multiple devices,
at least three, sometimes much more than that. So we're hyper-connected, we always
seem to want to be in the know, in the mix at all times, but how do we begin to harness
that and make sure we have the right access to the right information at the right time?
And then how do we distribute that and get the collective information out there?
Also, the nature of work is also changing. It's much more important on the how we
get work done versus the particular where and when. The other opportunities in, and again,
it's working with that shared set of stakeholders, even within your organization and outside.
So again, how, how are we disaggregating, how we changing business models, different
ways to deliver and distribute goods and services to people?
The other reality is the rate of change. If you're not evolving accordingly, you may not
stay in business. What we're trying to enable at Intel is to make sure that we're addressing,
first and foremost, the needs of that IT professional and many IT professionals could probably categorize
themselves as really trying to protect the business. They don't want to be the doctor
or Dr. No that, you know, impedes people from being as effective as possible, but they have
a responsibility, and in some cases, in some industries, they have a legal compliance requirement to
do certain things in certain ways. Of course, all businesses want to do more with less,
to look at all these different computing devices and lots of proliferations of different
mobile devices that are coming in, some employee-purchased and some provided by the organization,
how do you blend those in the right way and make sure that you're, again, enabling good work
to happen, but not creating other types of conflicts, security risks and what have you that
might disrupt the business. The next category is the device actually really,
really matters, and how can you make sure that you as an organization your IT departments
the people that you're able to influence can show that there is a breath of choice. But
how you make sure that you have been able to tailor the types of devices that are still
durable and robust to the needs of the user? So, in many ways, what we saw kind of on that
trend, it's the IT responsibilities and then you know, how do we make workers as productive
as possible? Ultimately, it comes down to confidence. Then, the other reality, that's super exciting,
again, that rate of change of technology, is looking at just the developments over the last
four years. The trends in mobility are fantastic. 50 percent thinner, 50 percent lighter, twice
the performance, you know, some of that integration, three times the battery life, so you can,
you're really emerged to more about a true, all-day battery life with these devices.
But the other thing that I want to make sure people don't necessarily forget, is half of
the commercial non-consumer PC market remains desktops. But even in the traditional stationary
or desktop space, tons and tons of innovation is happening there as well. We have all-in-one
systems, so you can take them from a usually fixed location, but you can take them into
a conference room if you're in, you know an architect, you can use some of these very high
fidelity types of systems with 20-inch screens, 27-inch screens, to be somewhat transportable.
The other trend that some people, and I'd probably count myself with that, even higher
growth and, you know, commercial all-in-ones is growing very, very strong, double-digit growth is
in this mini PC category. You've literally taken the same level of performance, but all
of that quote full desktop experience in a device that's not much bigger than this clicker
here. But how do we remove the burdens for people
to be as productive as possible? How do we take out the burdens of wires? How do we make
sure that people are able to get in the flow, get productive as quick as possible but still
maintain the security needs that they have as an IT shop, and, again, some of the compliance
restrictions. How do we remove those burdens of passwords, but still maintain or even exceed
the sophistication and security requirements of the past? And then, lastly, we talked a lot
about how technology can improve the collaboration types of experience and that's another area
that we're going to make some big investments over time.
[VIDEO - BUILD A BRIDGE]
So some big vectors we see over the next few
quarters is to remove the wires around display. So what we're doing here, again, with our
professional level of wireless display is build upon standards that we've partnered
with folks like Microsoft to establish, things like Miracast, and how do you bring additional
levels of certified performance and, in this case, security above and beyond what that baseline
is. The next step that you'll start to see are
wireless docking technologies built upon the Wireless Gigabyte or, WiGig, a type of technology
standard, and allows to have very high performance use of all your peripherals to light up, so
again, back to being in the flow, how can you go to your work area, you have your laptop
or your tablet, put it down there, fire up those screens and be ready to go. And then last, but not
least, is technologies around wireless charging. So, again, in concert, you're starting to really
achieve some of that no wires vision. Other opportunities are, how can you make sure again
you're back in the flow, but if you left your system, you had some important information,
you stepped away from your cubicle for some period of time, how can you make sure that
you have automatic locking down in a very hardened and secure type of way?
Again, the log-in side is very important, so how do we have a robust means of, sometimes
we use the term YAP or "you as your password". How can you have that as an authentication
means and extend that with multiple factors of authentication based on your policies?
So, based on your needs, you may have multiple factors, but when you do that, how can you
extend beyond just software factors, but utilize some of the rich robustness of the hardware
level to make sure that, again, the right people have access to the information at the right
time and are able to get access to that as quickly as possible?
And then other types of means to make sure that, again, with the data that's on your systems
most of them now are starting to utilize better means of encryption, but how do you make sure
that you're able to get access that encrypted content, you know, so you can add new capabilities
of, call it a digital fence, so you can set, again, by policy and, again, a lot of this is
providing the level of control and choice for the organizations to deploy as they'd like.
A lot of people in this room, I'm sure, are brilliant and have deep subject matter expertise,
but I can at least speak for myself that I become smarter when I engage with other folks and
often times with different insights and perspectives than I have, so how can you bring together
those interactions and, with more natural types of devices with pen input, speech input, as
needed, to, again, collect and harness and get insights from that information?
From a speed perspective, can you use sensors and things that are in the room? So you can
more detect, you know, who's present, you automatically log them in to be ready to go from that, and
again just speed up that opportunity to be as effective and collaborate as quick as possible.
Really appreciate the time. Thank you.
