On the Lighter Side -- Meet Nortel's Most 'Hyperconnected' Employee
October 1, 2008

Nortel CIO Steve Bandrowczak recently sponsored a contest to better understand -- in a fun way -- what hyperconnectivity and the user addition to devices and sharing information of every moment of every day means to Nortel IT. Whether the hyperconnected users are using social computing, unified communications, or improving business processes, the enterprise must be posed to handle this onslaught of network activity and demand for services.

Paul To is the winner of Nortel's Most Hyperconnected Employee contest. The judges* chose Paul because of his whimsical, yet serious top 10 list of reasons like taking 12 mobile/electronic devices that outweighed the rest of his luggage on a recent vacation and using his mobile phone to remotely monitor and control his home or to write 'real time' restaurant reviews. Paul has been known to buy underwear on amazon.com, automobiles on ebay, and keeps a Kindle device instead of magazines in the bathroom.

* Contest judges included an impressive panel of experts consisting of Nortel CIO Steve Bandrowczak, Nortel CTO John Roese; Abbie Lundberg, editor of CIO, one of the IT industry's most respected publications; and Andy Lippman, a well-known industry thought leader and founding director of the MIT Media Lab.
