It's hard to put a label on a company like Avery Dennison. With $6 billion in revenue and operations in 80 countries, the 77-year-old company has divisions that range from beverages to biomedical -- and they all seem to thrive by sticking to founder Stan Avery's vision of designing products that, well...stick. However, that stick-in-the-mud mentality does not apply to enterprise IT, where a no-holds-barred approach to embracing new technology rules the day. That is, however, as long as the new technologies make good business sense for the organization.

We recently caught up with Bhupesh Arora, Avery Dennison's Senior Director for New Technology Applications and IT Effectiveness, and got an earful of exactly what makes the company different, from an IT standpoint, and why enterprise mobility is one concept that's going to stick around.
