Some Thoughts From BlackBerry World 2012
Hello from sunny Orlando. I’ve been here with several thousand of my closest friends attending the much anticipated BlackBerry World as many mobile eyes wanted to catch a glimpse of the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system. How was the show you might ask? What do I think of BB 10? What was the reaction of [...] The Enterprise Mobility Policy Guidebook: April 2012 Edition
This is the latest edition of the mobility policy guidebook that includes additional recommendations based on the changing needs of the workplace, including tablets, app stores and individually liable devices. What’s new in this edition: The COPE Model (Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled) This is an alternative to BYOD Corporate Data Access GeoFencing 3rd Party Apps [...] If Mobile Device Management Doesn’t Matter, Then What Does?
Thanks to the powers of the Twitter-sphere, I stumbled upon this interesting article called “Why Mobile Device Management Doesn’t Matter.” It’s certainly a provocative title, albeit not a unique one, particularly from enterprise mobility vendors that are trying to provide technology solutions to help manage the ever-explosive growth of mobility in the workplace via non [...] The Enterprise Mobility Forum Turns Two
You know the expression “Time flies when you’re having fun?” That’s exactly how I feel today. In fact, I hate to admit it, but I actually didn’t realize what today was until my wife pointed it out to me yesterday. Two year ago today, the Enterprise Mobility Forum came out of stealth mode with the [...] BYOD, The Secret Sauce
Site Note: We’d like to introduce you to Brian Katz. Brian is an EMF member who works at pharmaceutical giant Sanofi and has a great blog where he shares his thoughts on enterprise mobility. Brian has graciously allowed us to share those thoughts with you on this site. There are a lot of articles floating [...] Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Naeem Zafar
It’s certainly been a while, but welcome back to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. We had the opportunity to sit down last week with Naeem Zafar, CEO of Bitzer Mobile, an enterprise mobility solution provider that utilizes a secure, mobile app container to isolate corporate access and data. We covered a broad range [...] Confused About BYOD? It’s Not Your Fault
Please note my friends, that I will do my best to not turn today’s missive into a rant, but do forgive me if sometimes it may appear as one. I say this because I have spent the last couple of days immersed in several discussions around the matter, including with subject matter experts (e.g., industry [...] To BYOD Or Not BYOD? That is The Enterprise Mobility Question
Hello from the beautiful land of windmills, and gouda cheese (and some other things that we don’t need to mention on this PG rated site). I’m here in Holland for the next couple of days spending some time with some enterprise mobility friends. The discussions so far have been unbelievably broad, but there was one [...] An Open Letter To United States Representative Markey Re: The ‘‘Mobile Device Privacy Act’’
Representative Markey, My name is Philippe Winthrop and I am the Managing Director of The Enterprise Mobility Foundation (click here to see my bio on LinkedIn). The EMF is an independent (downtown) Boston-based think tank, whose sole mission is to evangelize best practices in terms of how organizations can reap the greatest benefits from deploying [...] Could The Legal System Be The Ultimate Downfall of BYOD?
I know, I know, the title of this missive could certainly be considered provocative. Some would say that it’s just meant to grab attention in the enterprise mobility space, but I know that those who know me know that I am truly asking this question if only to raise our collective awareness and thoughts regarding [...]
