Embrace Consumerization

Intel IT recognizes that employees want access to information

and applications from anywhere and at any time, so that they can

work in more flexible and productive ways.

CONSUMERIZATION OF IT:

Employees want to use

personal devices to do their jobs.

Enable Consumerization

Intel is redefining services we provide to our employees.

We have identified eight best practices for creating a personal device program that meets our security standards.

Engage Stakeholders Early in the Planning Process

Integrating employee-owned

devices into our IT environment

involved many different groups

across Intel. We identified a team

of stakeholders from human resources,

legal, and engineering—plus stake-

holders from privacy and corporate

services teams.

We were able to successfully collaborate

and accomplish our goals due to the

wide variety of collaboration tools

we have available.

Engage End Users

One of our goals in integrating consumer devices into the enterprise was to increase employee productivity and job satisfaction.

To find out what our employees wanted, we engaged with them directly by using an internal blog to discuss the new IT consumerization policy. More than 8,000 employees responded. Response was so enthusiastic that we extended the blog conversation from one month to six months.

Develop a Security Model

Before Intel IT could allow employee-

owned devices in the enterprise, we

needed to better protect our data

and intellectual property.

We developed a security model that provides

appropriate protection for different levels of Intel

data. We also developed a system for supporting

smartphones in the Intel factory environments,

which require special consideration and

extra security.

We determined which devices to support and how to enable services effectively. Factors included device evaluation, a certification process, associated costs, available service plans, and support models.

With an eye to the future, Intel IT continues to evaluate emerging technologies with a variety of alternative form factors. Our goal is to provide seamless access to enterprise resources from multiple devices while maintaining security in a cost-effective way.

Decide Which Devices to Support4

Address Legal and Human Resource Concerns

Giving employees access to corporate resources from personal devices raises important legal, human resources, and policy concerns.

Intel IT created a service agreement that employees and managers must agree to before participating in the program.

The relevant controls are practical, achievable, and enforceable.

Enable Required Technologies

We addressed the technological requirements ofthe program by designing a physical infrastructure to support it and by creating a web portal that employees could use to order services.

Once these pieces were in place, we ran a pilot project to test and fine-tune the program, and we provided training to users, managers, and support personnel.

The pilot results were encouraging. Participation was high, and participants reported being very satisfied with the program.

Plan the Deployment

For deployment, we verified that capacity was sufficient to meet demand

and established critical success and operational indicators.

We also created a communications

plan using a variety of channels,

including newsletters and social

media. Our messages informed

employees about the program

launch, provided a schedule, and

explained program eligibility and

the service agreement.

Stay Up-to-Date with Changing Technology

It is important that we keep pace with technological changes and understand how they affect the integration of personal devices into the enterprise.

We continually update our resources—modifying the employee agreement as needed, updating the web portal, certifying new operating systems, adding new services, and deploying alternative form factors. For example, we’re developing a roadmap to allow smartphones to connect to the enterprise Wi-Fi network.
