Emerging Global Opportunities In Enterprise Mobility
It’s about 104 degrees right now in Buenos Aires. I’m here, one more day than I had planned for my honeymoon because there was a minor problem with the plane that was supposed to take us home yesterday evening. They grounded the airplane because they couldn’t get the public address system to work in the [...] Holy Buyout Batman! RIM Gets Into Cross Platform Mobile Device Management
Hello from beautifully sunny Orlando. I’m here for BlackBerry World – Research in Motion’s annual conference. I’ve been attending what they call Capital Markets Day, where a number of executives share with the analyst community what’s going on at RIM. Right before the all day session began, RIM announced that it had acquired Ubitexx, a [...] Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Colin Reid
Welcome to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. This past week, I had the opportunity to chat with Colin Reid, CEO of TotalMobile, a European mobility company (with offices in the US) with a focus on prepackaged mobile applications. We covered a broad range of topics around different trends within enterprise mobility between North [...] Managing Enterprise Mobility in Europe
Hello from beautiful Amsterdam. Today, I spent the day at the iCE Amsertdam event to talk about how organizations need to think about deploying their enterprise mobility strategy – and in this case, within Europe, as opposed to the traditional North American view on life. Here’s an interesting anecdote for you – perhaps even an [...] Holy Buyout Batman! Vodafone Buys Quickcomm AND TnT
Ya, so I am a couple of days late in sharing some thoughts about this event. Vodafone announced on Friday that it was acquiring both Quickcomm AND TnT Expense management. So forgive the delay in my posting these thoughts, but I was in a plane home from San Francisco on Friday and took some much [...] Slides From The Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp
You can find below the slides from the Enterprise Mobility Boot Camp that was held at the Fall 2010 CTIA show in San Francisco. Slides from the Mobile Application Strategies (Internal/External) session are graciously provided by Lopez Research. These documents can only be used for personal education and may not be distributed by vendors/ISVs/consultants without [...] The Enterprise Mobility Policy Guidebook: October 2010 Edition
Research shows that over 90% of organizations now have employees using smartphones within their work environments. Depending on the size of the organization, this can cover tens of thousands of individuals. However, enterprise mobility management can be a daunting task for organizations. The first step in managing mobility is to have a mobility policy. Other [...] Tackling Compliance in Healthcare Using Mobility
Non-compliance (in the sense of taking medication) is a major obstacle to the effective delivery of health care. Estimates from the World Health Organization indicate that only about 50% of patients with chronic diseases living in developed countries follow treatment recommendations. In developing countries the numbers are even lower and not reliable. In particular, low [...] Mobile Apps: Time for Cutting or Time for Planning with ITSM?
Mobile application development has been on eveybody’s minds these days. We can thank Apple for the catchy “There’s an App for that” phrase. Over 200,000 apps are available today for the iPhone/iPad and about 60,000 available for Android. I’ve lost track of how many are available for BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Symbian and webOS, but suffice it [...] The Fourth Amendment’s Role in Enterprise Mobility: Why Policies Matter
I got an early start to the day today. While I am typically a morning person, I had to take some family members to the airport this morning for an early flight. At 6am, the usual eight minute trip to the airport was done in five. I love living so close to the airport. When I got [...]
