Hello from not so beautiful and not so sunny Orlando…the land of Mickey and Minnie Mouse and way too many other theme parks…and conventions. OK, enough with the crankiness. I’m here (for the second time this month) attending SAP’s big SAPPHIRENOW event…and when I mean big, I mean real big. I lost count at 10,000 [...] Mobile Cloud Computing

The Costco Approach To Enterprise Mobility
Hello from not so beautiful and not so sunny Orlando…the land of Mickey and Minnie Mouse and way too many other theme parks…and conventions. OK, enough with the crankiness. I’m here (for the second time this month) attending SAP’s big SAPPHIRENOW event…and when I mean big, I mean real big. I lost count at 10,000 [...] The Enterprise Mobility Policy Guidebook: April 2012 Edition
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 [...] The Enterprise Mobility Forum Turns Two
You know the expression “Time flies when you’re having fun?” That’s exactly how I feel today. In fact, I hate to admit it, but I actually didn’t realize what today was until my wife pointed it out to me yesterday. Two year ago today, the Enterprise Mobility Forum came out of stealth mode with the [...] Mobile Office Apps – I Have One Simple Request
Mobile Only: Week 5 Spell check – is it too much to ask?! Seriously. I don’t feel like its a big request but perhaps it is. OK, so I admit it, I am a terrible speller. As far as I am concerned, the best feature in the history of computing is the red squiggly line [...] Inside Looking Out: An Executive View on Enterprise Mobility with Naeem Zafar
It’s certainly been a while, but welcome back to the latest edition of Inside Looking Out. We had the opportunity to sit down last week with Naeem Zafar, CEO of Bitzer Mobile, an enterprise mobility solution provider that utilizes a secure, mobile app container to isolate corporate access and data. We covered a broad range [...] An Open Letter To United States Representative Markey Re: The ‘‘Mobile Device Privacy Act’’
Representative Markey, My name is Philippe Winthrop and I am the Managing Director of The Enterprise Mobility Foundation (click here to see my bio on LinkedIn). The EMF is an independent (downtown) Boston-based think tank, whose sole mission is to evangelize best practices in terms of how organizations can reap the greatest benefits from deploying [...] Could The Legal System Be The Ultimate Downfall of BYOD?
I know, I know, the title of this missive could certainly be considered provocative. Some would say that it’s just meant to grab attention in the enterprise mobility space, but I know that those who know me know that I am truly asking this question if only to raise our collective awareness and thoughts regarding [...] Here’s to Mobile Only!
Site Note: We’d like to introduce you to Benjamin Robbins. Ben is an EMF member who is so passionate about enterprise mobility that he has decided to conduct an experiment – to only use a smartphone for work (no laptop or tablet) for an entire year – and share his experiences with the EMF community. [...] 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 [...] Educating Your Workforce On Mobile Risk Management
Like a snowball rolling down a hill, I have been getting more and more questions these days about BYOD, COPE and the broader trend of the Consumerization of IT. As a side note, I’m excited to be in a couple of sessions this coming week at the CITE Conference in San Francisco where I’ll be [...]
