The Collaborative focuses on specific use cases that present critical challenges for enterprise technology adopters. Use cases of concern are identified by the ONUG Collaborative Steering Committee, the ONUG Board or ONUG Community members.
ONUG Collaborative Project Teams help technology adopters overcome critical use case challenges by generating deliverables focused on actionable outcomes. These outcomes equip enterprise IT professionals with valuable know-how around the tools, technologies and techniques that can be put into practice within their organizations.
Collaborative project team deliverables fall into one of three general categories:
Thought Leadership. Raise awareness and educate enterprises about emerging issues and concerns by shining a spotlight on business or technology challenges that are hindering technology adoption and articulating a collective vision for overcoming these challenges.
Market Enablement. Generate actionable outcomes and deliverables that enable enterprises to adopt new tools, technologies and techniques for overcoming specific challenges, such as design patterns, reference architectures, technology adoption maturity models, playbooks, success guides and best practices.
Technology Innovation. Develop new tools, technologies and techniques for overcoming challenges facing networking and security operations teams, including multi-vendor proof-of-concept demonstrations.
The Collaborative facilitates productive dialog between enterprises and suppliers, leading to solutions for addressing real-world problems. Year-round project team collaboration fosters knowledge sharing and mutual understanding. Members gain an insider’s perspective on enterprise technology adoption issues and concerns. Enterprise IT professionals learn from their peers and take actionable insights back to their organizations. Suppliers gain an in-depth understanding of enterprise needs and requirements.
