BYOD: A Global Perspective Joseph Bradley, Senior Director, Global Markets and Planning, Innovations Practice
To determine whether BYOD is simply a U.S. — or even just a “U.S. enterprise” — phenomenon, the Cisco® Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) expanded its original “BYOD and Virtualization” study to include IT decision makers in both enterprises (1,000 or more employees) and midsize companies (500-999 employees) in eight countries across three regions. Cisco IBSG's results show that BYOD’s growth isn’t limited to the United States or to large companies. |

Mobility Management Challenge Robin Layland, Author of "2012 Mobility Management Challenge"
Smart phones and tablets are all the rage in enterprises and are putting new demands on IT. Adding to the complexity is that employees want choices in the devices they carry – devices that might be running any of several mobile operating systems. Users also want to bring their personally owned devices to work and use them to access corporate resources. Sound familiar? If so, your challenges are many. The device needs to be provisioned and any updates installed in a timely manner. The corporate data on the device needs to be secured. This includes making sure it isn't cut and pasted into email that can be sent anywhere. Secure email and other corporate apps need to be installed and updated. If the device is lost or the employee leaves the company, all the enterprise apps and data must be wiped. This all needs to be done while complying with government regulation and industry-specific mandates while all the time maintaining user privacy. How can you meet all these challenges? |
