What is IT 2.0? It's about acting with, not against the forces of nature. Just like how water wants to flow downstream, if unencumbered, information and people want to be free.

Today's workforces are distributed and mobile. Workers want to collaborate and exchange information with team members, clients and partners but are restrained by cumbersome technology, company firewalls, and corporate policies. It's a constant tug-of-war between end users and IT. And today's marketplace of technology are aimed at providing IT with tighter leashes on what end users can do, as a way to maintain control over corporate data. This is a losing proposition.

Let's fundamentally change that appproach. Let's support end users' desire to work from anywhere with real-time access to share corporate files no matter where they are. Let's do this, by giving IT 100% total control over corporate data and usage.

In order to deliver on the promise of cloud computing and cross the chasm, IT must effectively embrace and extend control beyond the firewall.
