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 [...] BYOD Is No Bed of Roses
You know I gave up a long time ago trying to NOT talk about BYOD. It feels like it’s everywhere because it’s top of mind on almost every discussion I participate in these days. It may even reach the point that people will start talking about BYOD when they’re not even talking about enterprise mobility. [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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: [...] Struggling With BYOD? Five Things Every Workplace Should Consider As They COPE With Enterprise Mobility
BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – is currently one of the most frequently discussed issues in enterprise mobility. Although often used as a synonym for The Consumerization of Information Technology, BYOD and CoIT are two distinct, albeit highly overlapping trends. This document is meant to provide organizations an alternate approach – through five simple [...] 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 [...] Wireless: My Wish List
‘Tis the season of wonder and wishing, after all, so here goes. At the top of my wish list for wireless has always been having not just one, but rather multiple electromagnetic spectra, kind of like having more channels, but in a very big way. Since we’re going to have to wait for the next [...]
