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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Twitter is such an amazing tool/phenomenon. There was even a recent study that argued that it (along with other social media platforms like Facebook) can be as, if not more addicting than illegal drugs. It does however have some very useful applications. One such application are the TweetChats (is that even what they’re called?). I [...]

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 [...]
