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 [...] Mobility – The Skin That You’re In
Mobile Only: Week 4 When I first began this endeavor of working only from my smartphone, the experience was strange, unusual, and slow. Even with using a monitor, keyboard, and mouse I found it took extra time to complete tasks. I attributed this to years of executing tasks on the PC in the same manner, [...] 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 [...] Working From ‘Phone’ – Beyond Disbelief
Mobile-Only: Week 2 “You are doing what?” “You are crazy.” “You won’t be able to pull off an entire year of work from your phone.” These are just a few of the ‘doubting Thomas’ responses (along with lots of positive ones) I received this past week since publicly announcing going mobile-only. These weren’t malicious responses, [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Creating a Satisfied Customer – What The Carriers Need To Do Now
The recent news from AT&T about the end of unlimited wireless data came as no surprise, but still raised my hackles more than a bit. Sure, only Sprint still offers unlimited data, but on a more limited network (in terms of coverage and capacity, anyway, along with a still-shaky corporate image). OK, let’s be fair: [...] 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 [...]
