Here’s to Mobile Only!
Site Note: We’d like to introduce you to Benjamin Robbins. Ben is an EMF member who is so passionate about enterprise mobility that he has decided to conduct an experiment – to only use a smartphone for work (no laptop or tablet) for an entire year – and share his experiences with the EMF community. [...] Two BYOD Discussions…One Theme
Another week, another flight. At least that’s sure how it feels these days. It’s not that I am complaining, because I actually enjoy tremendously the opportunity to meet new people (as well as reconnect with people I already know) and speak with them about something I am so passionate about. It’s just a lot of [...] How Do You CYA In a BYOD World?
That was the name of the session I moderated this morning at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. Given that there were about 250 people in attendance in the room (on the last day of the conference no less), I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb to say that it’s a question [...] Understanding The Difference Between Mobile Device Management and Mobility Management
A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you my experience of participating in a TweetChat on the Consumerization of IT as a prelude to the CITE event in San Francisco in the beginning of March (4-6 to be precise). Well, today we had another one of these sessions. I was just telling someone that [...] Some More Thoughts Regarding What COPE Means For Enterprise Mobility
Where has the day gone? It’s been one of those non stop days since dawn. Frankly, that’s the way I like it. The workaholic in me can’t deal with “slow” days. I’ve spent part of the last 48 hours fielding some great offline questions regarding my last missive around what COPE can mean for the [...] Could There Be a Better Way to COPE With BYOD In The Enterprise?
“You can have any color you want…as long as it’s black.” That’s a quote that is attributed to Henry Ford. It makes me think about the “old days” of enterprise mobility…you know, the ones before we had the consumerization of IT and the tsunami better known as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). You could have [...] Lessons Learned In Enterprise Mobility in Retail
This was, admittedly, a rather disappointing weekend. No no…I’m not talking about the emotionally crushing defeat that my beloved New England Patriots suffered yesterday in Superbowl XLVI. I’m talking instead about a visit I made to a “Big Box” retail store. I went to that store looking at kitchen appliances. The most exciting part of [...] Social Networking: Complete Waste of Time, and the Future of Enterprise Communications
Who was it that said that life is full of contradictions? Today’s topic is indeed one of those, at least at first glance. I’m a guy who doesn’t have a Facebook account. I do have a Twitter account, but I don’t use it. I’m on Linkedin because I thought it might be a good idea [...] Apple’s New Textbooks: The Enterprise Mobility Perspective
As we speak, Apple is showcasing in New York City its new iBooks 2 platform, alongside its new wonderfully immersive Textbooks. In one respect, I’ve been wondering when this would happen in the education space. Nevermind the green side of the equation (less trees being turned into pulp), there are wonderful improvements in terms of [...] A Brief Recap of The 2012 AppNation Enterprise Summit
I love being a road warrior. While it can be a drag at times to have to explain to people that my office is seat 8C on United Airlines, it does keep me in check with my better half. I may, however, have taken it to the extreme last week. After an 18 hour trip [...]
