Gabriel RangelIT Solution Strategist, Jet Propulsion LaboratoryAugust 2011

Today’s Agenda

• Why focus on Consumer Driven IT?

• Overview of Consumer Web

• IT Consumer Today

• Examples of life in the Cloud

• Staying current

Why bother?• To discover and enable relevant emerging

technologies for JPL and NASA employees– Trends so we make the right bets– Concepts so we can develop the right

capabilities– Technologies so we try them quickly in the right

setting• To enable IT consumer’s ingenuity• To help boost personal productivity• To save cost and time
