BYOD Is No Bed of Roses

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.  [...]

If Mobile Device Management Doesn’t Matter, Then What Does?

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 [...]

Two BYOD Discussions…One Theme

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?

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 [...]

Struggling With BYOD? Five Things Every Workplace Should Consider As They COPE With Enterprise Mobility

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 [...]

Some More Thoughts Regarding What COPE Means For Enterprise Mobility

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?

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 [...]

Understanding The Difference Between The Consumerization of IT and BYOD

Understanding The Difference Between The Consumerization of IT and BYOD 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 [...]

Social Networking: Complete Waste of Time, and the Future of Enterprise Communications

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 [...]
