Dual Persona: The Ideal COPE Enabler?

Dual Persona: The Ideal COPE Enabler? Late last week, I briefly caught two unrelated conversations on Twitter regarding the deficiencies of BYOD, dual persona, and COPE – three of the top issues being discussed these days in the enterprise mobility universe.  We all know where I stand on BYOD, and I have shared some thoughts in the past regarding my mixed [...]

Could COPE Be The Betamax of Enterprise Mobility?

Could COPE Be The Betamax of Enterprise Mobility? I know it may hard to believe, but I assure you there was a time (right around the Mesozoic Era I believe) where audio and video was not served for your entertainment pleasure as a digital computer file.  In fact, there was a time where audio and video was distributed on this thing called “tape.”  [...]

The Challenge of Misnomers in Enterprise Mobility

The Challenge of Misnomers in Enterprise Mobility I just came back from Vegas.  This was my first trip since the birth of my daughter, so I had almost forgotten the joys of dealing with airport delays and incredibly long days full of meetings.  Good times!  In any case, I wanted to share with you something that happened during the CTIA conference this [...]

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 [...]

Can You Rent-to-Own Your Enterprise Mobility?

Can You Rent-to-Own Your Enterprise Mobility? Another kooky week is coming to an end.  At least I did have the opportunity to spend some time during this holy week thinking about what is plaguing us in mobile.  We also had the announcement earlier this week that T-Mobile USA is completely changing its rate plans to eliminate contracts and device subsidies.  For [...]

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

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 [...]
