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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Reflecting On Enterprise Mobility in 2012

Reflecting On Enterprise Mobility in 2012 I must admit that I have been procrastinating on writing this particular post.  In fact, I have been procrastinating for weeks on this.  I had wanted to do it at the end of the year, but stuff happened.  Then, I wanted to do it at the very beginning of the year…and guess what?  Stuff happened.  [...]

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 [...]

The 5 Lies of BYOD

The 5 Lies of BYOD Last month, I said that BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) will decline as enterprise mobility grows up  (see link here) and got the following responses: Don’t Bet On It Not quite yet As well as some more interesting and less accurate headlines such as: Will BYOD matter in 2013? Nucleus predicts BYOD to be a [...]

Can a Lease Solve Many Of Today’s Challenges In Enteprise Mobility?

Can a Lease Solve Many Of Today’s Challenges In Enteprise Mobility? It’s a little frightening (perhaps depressing) when I think about the fact that my being home these last four days, has been the longest period of time I have been home in two months.  Oh well.  As we get ready for an abbreviated week here in the United States as we celebrate Thanksgiving, I wanted [...]
