The First Step To “Mobile First”

The First Step To “Mobile First” As I’m sure many of you did, I watched yesterday with great interest the streaming video feed from SAPPHIRE Now, SAP’s annual conference.  Of particular interest was the “SAP Mobile Press Conference” that was led by SAP’s Sanjay Poonen.  After Sanjay made his formal remarks, he invited some partners and customers to join him in [...]

The Religious Side of Enterprise Mobility

The Religious Side of Enterprise Mobility Over the last few weeks, my wife and I have been taking a class at our shul.  A shul (pronounced shool) is actually a Yiddish term that means synagogue.  A shul is also a place of learning (notice how it resembles the word “school”), because the rationale is that you not only pray at your [...]

Facebook Home And What Han Solo Can Teach You About Your BYOA Mobility Policy

Facebook Home And What Han Solo Can Teach You About Your BYOA Mobility Policy I am admittedly a little late in the game in writing this missive, but I put the blame squarely on the newest addition to the Winthrop Clan who has now made sleep a privilege and not a right for me.  Watch out world, in a decade (or two), you’ll hopefully hear from yet another rabid [...]

The Key To A Successful Enterprise Mobility Strategy: Focus

The Key To A Successful Enterprise Mobility Strategy: Focus You know, it’s interesting.  So much talk these days around enterprise mobility and BYOD is all about preventing your employee base from doing “bad things.”  OK, it’s not really said that way.  The more diplomatic terminology is Information/Data Loss Prevention (DLP).  Regardless of whether you are an optimist or a cynic, it really does boil [...]

The Definitive Guide To All Things MxM I just got back from having lunch with my good friend and fellow EMF member Swarna Podila.  Soon after I offered to the world The Definitive Guide to All Things BYOx, she made the very astute suggestion via Twitter that there should be the equivalent for MxM – you know…the OTHER potential alphabet soup of [...]

To Containerize or Not Containerize? That Is The Enterprise Mobility Question!

To Containerize or Not Containerize?  That Is The Enterprise Mobility Question! Admittedly, unless you’re a wannabe Thespian, that was a pretty horrible title for a missive.  That said, I do feel as if it does a pretty good job of summarizing what seems to be the next great Topic du Jour – or at the very least, the latest idea to battle the “Voldemort of Enterprise [...]

Your Enterprise Mobility Policy: The Devil Is In The Details

Your Enterprise Mobility Policy: The Devil Is In The Details In case you might not be aware, there’s a group of us in the Twitter-sphere that get together once a week to chat about enterprise mobility.  This event is hosted by my two good friends Brian Katz and Benjamin Robbins whom you also know as contributors to this little spot on the Interweb.  I strongly [...]

BYOD Is Like A Guns N’ Roses Song

BYOD Is Like A Guns N’ Roses Song So Blizzard Nemo has come and gone….leaving Boston with only 24.9 inches of snow.  That’s 63.246 cm for those more inclined to the metric system.  While I will admit to not having had to clear out a sidewalk, or dig my car out for that matter, that doesn’t preclude me from admitting that I may [...]

Selecting The Right Mobile App

Selecting The Right Mobile App One of the largest problems enterprises have when starting to develop enterprise mobile apps is trying to find out what to invest in or accomplish first. All of the following factors play a role in picking the right apps: alignment to company mission, alignment to mobility strategy, security, enabling new customer or sales processes, productivity [...]

What is Missing From Enterprise Mobility Management?

What is Missing From Enterprise Mobility Management? Did you know that this year, we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first BlackBerry smartphone? That’s right — white collar enterprise mobility will, for all intents and purposes, be celebrating its 10th anniversary. While in the grand scheme of things, 10 years is not a very long time, no one can disagree [...]
