Mobile Project Collaboration – The Third Wheel
Mobile Only: Week 10 Benjamin Robbins, an EMF member, is spending the next year working solely from a single mobile device. Each week he shares his thoughts and experience with us on what it means to be mobile-only. Project collaboration is a pivotal exercise for enterprise computing. Organizations will often put a lot of initial [...] Apps vs Crapplications Part 2
Brian Madden recently wrote an excellent article on how to argue about html vs native apps as well as touch versus keyboard/mouse and made some great points. It is definitely worth a read. We do diverge a little bit in our thinking though when he gets to features vs focus in apps. He quotes me [...] Can You Hear Me Now? – Collaborative Mobile Communication
Mobile Only: Week 9 If there is one aspect of collaboration that a mobile device should greatly excel at over a PC, it is communication. Mobile devices have two distinct advantages over desktop PCs. First, remote meetings can happen in diverse environments beyond my desk. I can be at home, in a conference room, or [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Mobile Brainstorming – Do you Doodle or Document?
Mobile Only: Week 7 When it comes to brainstorming are you a doodler or a documenter? In a meeting, do you instinctively reach for the dry-erase marker and head on up to the whiteboard – with lines, boxes, and stick-figures soon littering the entire space? Or do you prefer to sit down in front of [...] 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 [...] Enterprise Mobility – Teaming Up
Mobile Only: Week 6 Mobile devices, with their native capabilities of voice, video, connectivity, and portability are an enterprise productivity power-house. They have the possibility to allow teams to collaborate in ways that used to require separate pieces of equipment. However, as with many of the topics I have been covering, the capabilities of the [...] 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 [...]
