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 [...] 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 [...] How Do You CYA In a BYOD World?
That was the name of the session I moderated this morning at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. Given that there were about 250 people in attendance in the room (on the last day of the conference no less), I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb to say that it’s a question [...] 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 [...] Struggling With BYOD? Five Things Every Workplace Should Consider As They COPE With Enterprise Mobility
BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – is currently one of the most frequently discussed issues in enterprise mobility. Although often used as a synonym for The Consumerization of Information Technology, BYOD and CoIT are two distinct, albeit highly overlapping trends. This document is meant to provide organizations an alternate approach – through five simple [...] Understanding The Difference Between Mobile Device Management and Mobility Management
A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you my experience of participating in a TweetChat on the Consumerization of IT as a prelude to the CITE event in San Francisco in the beginning of March (4-6 to be precise). Well, today we had another one of these sessions. I was just telling someone that [...] Some More Thoughts Regarding What COPE Means For Enterprise Mobility
Where has the day gone? It’s been one of those non stop days since dawn. Frankly, that’s the way I like it. The workaholic in me can’t deal with “slow” days. I’ve spent part of the last 48 hours fielding some great offline questions regarding my last missive around what COPE can mean for the [...] Could There Be a Better Way to COPE With BYOD In The Enterprise?
“You can have any color you want…as long as it’s black.” That’s a quote that is attributed to Henry Ford. It makes me think about the “old days” of enterprise mobility…you know, the ones before we had the consumerization of IT and the tsunami better known as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). You could have [...] Understanding The Difference Between The Consumerization of IT and BYOD
Twitter is such an amazing tool/phenomenon. There was even a recent study that argued that it (along with other social media platforms like Facebook) can be as, if not more addicting than illegal drugs. It does however have some very useful applications. One such application are the TweetChats (is that even what they’re called?). I [...]
