https://news-editor.vmware.com/asean/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/300DPIx181104_00612.jpg

Today, every organization needs technology to manage operations and deliver services. However, due to resource constraints and systemic inequities, many social-sector organizations have not yet fully recognized (or cannot afford to embrace) the benefits of technology or the importance of <a href="https://octo.vmware.com/the-imperative-of-nonprofit-digital-transformation/">digital transformation</a>.

That’s why VMware created <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TZ86HEakg0">Good Gigs Projects</a> — an OCTO program that encourages co-innovation amongst VMware people and with the nonprofits of their choice. The program strengthens nonprofit tech capacity through what VMware calls “Tech Pro Bono Service Learning” (or just “Tech Pro Bono”). With this support, the Malala Fund team created more efficiencies around day-to-day operations, and they’re able to spend more time working toward their mission – a world where all girls can access 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

Nearly 130 million girls were out of school before the pandemic — and 20 million more may be out of school by the time this crisis is truly over. In addition to the pandemic, girls’ access to education continues to be disproportionately impacted by issues like conflict, racial discrimination or devastation from climate change and natural disasters. It doesn’t take much to expose the fragility of our support systems and the depths of global inequality. But <a href="https://malala.org/">Malala Fund</a> prefers to focus on the strength of girls around the world and their determination to learn, whatever obstacles life throws their way.

The international nonprofit team invests in local education activists ​​and advocates who are working to help girls across nine countries go to school. They also amplify the voices of young women fighting for chance and advocate for the policies and resources needed to help all girls learn. A quality education provides girls with the skills they need to thrive, more job opportunities and greater independence. Meanwhile, communities and workplaces benefit from greater diversity and fresh perspectives.

“We believe all girls are entitled to 12 years of free, safe, high-quality education,” explained Amanda Cosby, chief operating officer at Malala Fund. “Being able to react quickly is fundamental to dealing with the challenges these girls are facing, and technology is a driving force that makes that happen.”

core/embed

Malala Fund met the Good Gigs team and VMware principal partner, Insight, in 2018. They formed an alliance that demonstrates just how much impact the right technology and a little expert guidance can have.

In a sector where time is the most valuable resource, the team worked together to give every employee more time from the moment they start work. They began by helping Malala Fund better control corporate-owned-personally-enabled (COPE) devices.

“Onboarding, offboarding and device management were slow and manual. Now we can empower staff to hit the ground running with a personalized digital workspace, single sign-on and higher levels of security from day one,” added Cosby.

The fight for equality is a battle against age-old prejudices that have no place in the modern world. But not everyone is happy about it. Keeping data secure doesn’t just protect sensitive personal details; it’s vital to protect the safety of Malala Fund staff, partners and recipients and to make sure nothing derails its mission.

As for giving back more time, it’s not just Cosby banking more minutes for the operations team. Staff can pick from a catalog of 20 relevant apps without having to remember 20 unique logins every day — a headache we can all relate to.

core/pullquote

The Right Tools at the Right Time

With global operations, field staff in remote areas, and a turbulent global stage, agility is also a priority for Malala Fund.

“VMware Workspace ONE gives us a central console to manage devices anywhere in the world,” explained Cosby. “If a laptop is stolen, I can wipe it in seconds. And when the pandemic hit, we could make emergency funds available to scale up digital programs while classrooms were closed.”

This level of visibility wouldn’t be possible without centralized data and strong collaboration between staff and partners who run the programs. Luckily, the team already had the necessary tools to take meetings online when flights were grounded and could continue working with no downtime.

“We ask our team to be contactable at all times. Other than that, where, when and how they work is up to them. With hassle-free technology, they’re free to focus completely on what matters most: getting more girls back in the classroom,” concluded Cosby.

Nonprofit digital transformation is made possible with programs like Good Gigs. Learn how it changed Malala Fund.

With the support of Good Gigs Projects, the Malala Fund team created more efficiencies around day-to-day operations, and they’re able to spend more time working toward their mission – a world where all girls can access 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

Comprehensive Mobile Security with VMware Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense

New Update Management Capabilities Helps Automate Windows Device Management

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today unveiled innovations to its anywhere workspace platform, VMware Workspace ONE, that will make it easier for IT teams to manage and better secure all employee devices. New capabilities include:

core/list

“As the frequency and sophistication of threats continue to intensify, IT teams need a way to proactively detect threats across the entire device population and respond quickly. That is a tall order for taxed IT and Sec-Ops teams,” said Shankar Iyer, senior vice president and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware. “VMware Workspace ONE is ideally suited for the new security realities of enabling a hybrid workforce. Leveraging intelligence and injecting automation in every step of the process, it simplifies IT operations, improves security against modern threats, and empowers the best employee experience across any device, anywhere.”

Best In Class Security for Mobile Devices

Today’s mobile threat landscape is diverse, and mobile workstyles call for specialized protection from phishing and application, device, and rogue network originated threats. VMware Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense, a new add-on to the industry-leading Workspace ONE UEM platform, takes mobile protection to the next level. It incorporates mobile security technologies from Lookout, a leader in the space. The solution aims to address:

Application, device, and network protection via Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense can be activated within Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub. For IT, this means there are no separate apps or agents to download or deploy, and vital information – including alerts and suggested resolutions – is conveyed via a resource that employees use for daily work.

To learn more about Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense, <a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/euc/2022/06/announcing-workspace-one-mobile-threat-defense.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">read this blog</a>.

Simplifying Windows OS Update Management

As employees embrace hybrid workstyles, traditional network-based solutions are inadequate for securing PCs against vulnerabilities. Workspace ONE combines cloud-native Windows 10 and Windows 11 management with intelligent automation to help IT more seamlessly secure PCs alongside every other endpoint, from anywhere.

VMware is today introducing new Workspace ONE capabilities that will make managing updates/patches even easier and elevate the security posture of Windows devices. Workspace ONE flexibly extends to multiple content sources and unifies policy, deployment and lifecycle management of the OS from the cloud.

Flexibility is an inherent feature of the new Workspace ONE Updates Lifecycle, where critical updates can be automated via approval groups, while admins retain control to hand test patches more likely to create issues. Further enhancements include ability for IT admins to:

IT Teams Enable Secure Anywhere Work with Workspace ONE

Accent Micro Technologies (AMTI) is a technology solutions and systems provider in the Philippines. Josefino "Bong" M. Paloma, executive vice president, Technology, Sales and Marketing, said, “We like Workspace ONE and Carbon Black Cloud for the simplicity and flexibility they offer. They automate many of the manual processes we used to have in provisioning our users, whether it’s installing software or enforcing security policies within the network as well as beyond the perimeter of our network.” Read the full <a href="https://www.vmware.com/company/customers/index/fullpage.html?path=/content/web-apps-redesign/customer-stories/2021/breaking-business-records-during-lockdowns-with-remote-work" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">case study</a>.

swisspro is a provider of electrical installation, information and communications technology (ICT), and automation services. Reto Marti, head of internal IT, said, “Under the old system, it took at least four hours to get a PC ready. But thanks to VMware, we have cut that to about 30 minutes, which makes life so much easier for the IT team.” Read the full <a href="https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/casestudy/vmware-swisspro-successstory.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">case study</a>.

Zoom provides a communications platform where people can connect, share ideas, make plans, and more. Aparna Bawa, Chief Operating Officer, said, “It was critical for our security posture to align with the prominence of this moment and the critical role Zoom played in business continuity for our customers. The collaboration with VMware delivers a more secure digital workspace and enables endpoints in our organization to be better safeguarded and compliant with IT security policies.”

Despite the upheaval caused by COVID-19, the last few years have also prompted many of us to reconsider our priorities and think about what we value most in life. I acknowledge that having the time and energy to do this hasn’t been an option available to everyone. But for those of us that have been able to work flexibly during periods of lockdown, having some extra time in our days has been a silver lining in what has been a difficult few years.

For me personally, I have found myself thinking more about what I hold dear.

Living sustainably and taking care of our planet is something I care very deeply about, and I’ve often thought about how each one of us can contribute to building a more sustainable future.

It’s something we’ve become increasingly conscious of in my own family. Last year we completed a home renovation project, and as part of that, we installed rooftop solar panels and battery storage to return any remaining energy back to the grid. At the same time, we substantially upgraded our insulation to make the house more energy-efficient. We also installed an electric vehicle charge point, in anticipation of a time in the not-too-distant future when we hope to swap out our current car for an electric or hybrid vehicle. And with the threat of drought being a constant long-term concern in Australia, we installed large water tanks to capture as much rainwater as possible. This water-saving strategy allows us to use rainwater for toilets, clothes washing and in the garden. In our garden, we’ve started growing vegetables, fruit and herbs that we use in our cooking here at home.

Like many others, we are looking for ways to make environmentally sound choices, and to be a part of a wider system that drives sustainability. But we don’t just want to make a difference at home.

Increasingly people want to bring their personal passion for sustainability to the workplace. It’s no secret that employees, and younger employees in particular, are increasingly seeking out employers that share their values.1 But it’s also true that not every organization lives up to the statements it makes about sustainability.2

Even so, the more we see individual employees wear sustainability on their sleeves, the more we’ll see them drive organizational change and work towards a net-zero future.

This Earth Day, VMware aims to drive home how all employees can make an impact in the fight against climate change. Sustainability is something that’s very important to us as a company. It is a value that we strive for throughout our operations, supply chain and technology innovations for our customers.

Having spent some time reflecting on how individuals can maximize their impact at work, I'd like to share five key ways that you can make your passion for sustainability part of the values you live out at work.

Many companies publicly espouse a commitment to sustainability, but does this mean they genuinely “walk the talk”? When exploring a move to a different company, consider whether a potential employer’s stance on sustainability issues aligns with your own personal values.

One of the things that makes me particularly proud to work at VMware is our company’s unwavering commitment to sustainability. We are not shy about our efforts to become more environmentally efficient, and we have published an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, our <a href="https://www.vmware.com/company/esg.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2030 Agenda</a> ⁠— a decade-long commitment to building a more sustainable, equitable and secure digital future.

Quite simply, in the same way that consumers can speak with their wallets, employees can act on their commitment to environmental causes by choosing to work for an employer that takes sustainability seriously. This might require conducting some background research and putting forward questions about sustainability in job interviews. These could include:

If an employer doesn’t have sound responses to one or all of these questions, it might be time to think twice about whether it is the right company for you.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for opportunities to make a difference in the sustainability space, even in your everyday work. Is there a logistics process that could be made more efficient and need fewer vehicle trips involved in deliveries? Could buildings lighting and cooling be used more efficiently?

And don’t forget the IT technology your company runs on. According to the <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/data-centres-and-data-transmission-networks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">International Energy Agency</a>, data centers account for around 1% of global electricity use, with data networks using about the same amount again. Energy use can be a significant financial cost in running technology infrastructures and in companies’ overall operating expenditures.

So, any change that can make your operations more efficient and sustainable are likely to save you money in the long term. It’s something VMware works on with clients in industries, including financial services, healthcare and mining.

If we all do our part to lead a more sustainable life, there is greater potential for society-wide shifts that can help to mitigate the pace and severity of climate change.

VMware’s 2022 Earth Day theme — “One VMware, One Planet, One Month, One Challenge” — is lived and breathed through individual actions, collectively throughout the organization. To provide ideas on how to reduce our carbon emissions, as well as measure our climate impact, we’re challenging employees to download and use the AWorld App, which was chosen by the U.N. to support the ActNow Campaign.

core/image

Leading a more sustainable life shouldn’t happen within a vacuum. AWorld empowers individuals to take steps towards living sustainably with the support of their team, and we’ll be offering special rewards for our most highly engaged participants. (Healthy competition can go a long way!)

Another way companies empower employees to make a positive environmental impact is with opportunities for Service Learning. 

This includes Service Learning with environmental nonprofits, whether that be in the area of bush regeneration, developing green urban spaces, planting trees, growing organic food and more.

Consider whether your company offers employees time off to serve with nonprofits, and take advantage of it to support an environmental cause. Some companies like VMware also may have employee matching gifts programs. This gives an added boost to an employee’s own donation by matching the amount they contribute to a charitable cause. The <a href="https://www.vmware.com/company/foundation.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VMware Foundation’s Citizen Philanthropy approach</a> does this by providing a platform for VMware people to contribute time, talent and financial resources to their nonprofits of choice.

It’s our collective responsibility to build sustainable workplaces and environmentally conscious societies, but for real and meaningful change to take place, this needs to be powered by passionate individuals who lead the way forward.

These are the change-makers and forward-thinkers who take on the mantle of sustainability ambassadors in an organization. They might develop environmental sustainability initiatives in a local region or help employees to adopt sustainable mindsets to manage food waste in the office. They can influence purchasing decisions to reduce energy consumption and to prefer plastic-alternative products. At VMware, our <a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/careers/2022/04/celebrating-earth-month-with-vmware-citizen-philanthropists.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sustainability Ambassadors</a> use their passion to advocate for VMware’s ESG initiatives and influence their colleagues to take action with customers.

Employees have the knowledge, skills and passion to create change for the better. There is power in numbers, and if we work together, we can create a more sustainable future — One VMware, One Planet, One Month, One Challenge at a time.

On March 5, VMware announced its suspension of all business operations in Russia and Belarus, and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine, and we commend the bravery of the Ukrainian people. The human toll is devastating and like other global businesses, we are committed to supporting our Ukrainian team members, customers and partners. We are also seeking to support non-Ukraine-based employees with family members located in Ukraine with information to access available resources. We continue to support our employees in Russia, as they are adversely impacted by the consequences of their government’s actions. The suspension of operations includes suspension of all sales, support, and professional services in both countries in line with VMware’s commitment to comply with sanctions and restrictions. We are committed to preparedness and vigilance in this fluid situation and will comply with all applicable restrictions on the export and re-export of our products and services.

We’re working to help protect customers in Ukraine from cyberattacks and loss of continuity. For example, we are working with customers and partners in Ukraine – including large financial entities – to help migrate data center applications and workloads out of the country to other European data centers. We’re providing 90 days of free services to support that effort. 

We are also working with governments and customers across the globe to provide digital infrastructure and cybersecurity assistance. As a founding member of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) convened by the U.S. Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), VMware is actively aligned with a global network of industry and public sector organizations focused on early warning and rapid response efforts to protect critical infrastructure.

AsiaPac will be the first in the region to leverage VMware vRealize Operations Cloud and VMware Cloud Director service to support companies with their multi-cloud needs
Singapore – 1 November 2021 – VMware Inc. is expanding its partnership with AsiaPac, the region’s premier ICT solutions provider. AsiaPac will be the first partner in the Southeast Asia and Korea region to adopt VMware vRealize Operations Cloud and VMware Cloud Director to support highly regulated industries such as the financial services, government and healthcare sectors in their multi-cloud needs. The partnership will also build upon VMware’s ‘cloud-smart’ approach and commitment to helping businesses navigate the multi-cloud era, recently unveiled during VMworld 2021.
Today, the average organization runs approximately 500 workloads to drive their business[1], and those apps are distributed across clouds. Thus, it is increasingly crucial for companies to have a unified management platform to optimize, plan and scale hybrid cloud deployments from applications to infrastructure.
As a proven solution in the Cloud System and Service Management software space, vRealize Operations Cloud will help AsiaPac unify their multi-cloud operating practice by consolidating all metrics from their VMware, AWS and Azure cloud environments into a single, unified platform. Furthermore, it will allow AsiaPac to provide a consistent monitoring and reporting service for their customers, no matter how distributed their apps are across multiple clouds. The launch of vRealize Operations Cloud and VMware vRealize Log Insight Cloud in Singapore in July 2021 has opened doors for partners like AsiaPac to support highly regulated industries in their multi-cloud journey.
“As more companies look to accelerate their digital transformation during this period of recovery, cloud adoption in Asia Pacific will only continue to increase,” said David Bate, VMware’s Vice President, Cloud, Asia Pacific and Japan. “Helping companies implement a cloud-smart strategy is a key focus for us at VMware. We would like to congratulate AsiaPac for their forward thinking and their partnership. We are confident that this will help offer businesses in Singapore with the flexibility and control needed to operate and innovate in a multi-cloud world.”
To deliver these new services to customers, AsiaPac will also be tapping VMware Cloud Director service, a unique and differentiated SaaS solution available to all VMware Cloud providers. VMware Cloud Director service enables AsiaPac to offer a pay-as-you-grow model, thus reducing the overhead costs to pursue small- and medium-sized businesses. The service enables AsiaPac to provide flexibility in pricing and environment size by dividing their VMware Cloud on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) environments into multi-tenanted resource pools, with fine-grained control of resource allocation and support for differing consumption models. AsiaPac’s customers will also be able to enjoy easy, self-service consumption through a single access point for all of their virtual data centers via an intuitive user interface or API.

&#8220;As a subsidiary of M1, Singapore’s first digital network operator, AsiaPac prides ourselves on staying at the forefront of delivering innovative next-generation infrastructure and multi-cloud services that are adaptable to today’s digital-first economy,” Andrew Cheng, Managing Director of AsiaPac explained. “Organizations are increasingly relying on cloud technologies to compete. We are confident that VMware’s world-class solutions will help us take full advantage of multiple clouds to improve resiliency and delivery of better services for our customers.”
“With many businesses in the region supercharging their digital transformation journeys to move faster to a digital future, we believe that this partnership will bolster AsiaPac’s efforts in helping their customers respond and adapt to the ever-evolving business landscape,” added Fan Qu, Director, Partner Business, Southeast Asia and Korea at VMware. “AsiaPac is a valued partner at VMware, who was recently awarded the 2021 Partner Value Award for its exceptional growth and track record in helping customers drive technology modernization. We look forward to the greater synergies and value that this partnership expansion will bring in the new era of multi-cloud.”
