The Challenge of Misnomers in Enterprise Mobility

The First Step To “Mobile First”

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

Enterprise Mobility Acronyms: The Devil Is In The Details

Enterprise Mobility Acronyms: The Devil Is In The Details Ah, the day after Christmas.  In some parts of the world, it’s called Boxing Day.  In other parts, it could be considered a day of recovering from too much food…and perhaps even too much time with your family and/or in-laws.  Side note: doesn’t that sound a lot like Thanksgiving Friday?  Three sentences in and I [...]
