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 [...] Corporate Liable Devices

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 [...] Some Thoughts From BlackBerry World 2012
Hello from sunny Orlando. I’ve been here with several thousand of my closest friends attending the much anticipated BlackBerry World as many mobile eyes wanted to catch a glimpse of the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system. How was the show you might ask? What do I think of BB 10? What was the reaction of [...] 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. [...] 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 [...] Confusion Around Mobile Application Management Can Be a Good Thing
Do you remember the whole glass half-full/glass half-empty mindset? That’s what came to mind today when I saw an article talking about what Citrix might be thinking as it defines and refines its mobile application management strategy. I say this particularly in the context of new markets that are often ill-defined and even more frequently [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] BYOD, The Secret Sauce
Site Note: We’d like to introduce you to Brian Katz. Brian is an EMF member who works at pharmaceutical giant Sanofi and has a great blog where he shares his thoughts on enterprise mobility. Brian has graciously allowed us to share those thoughts with you on this site. There are a lot of articles floating [...] 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 [...] Confused About BYOD? It’s Not Your Fault
Please note my friends, that I will do my best to not turn today’s missive into a rant, but do forgive me if sometimes it may appear as one. I say this because I have spent the last couple of days immersed in several discussions around the matter, including with subject matter experts (e.g., industry [...]
