At ForeScout (http://bit.ly/ON2PNw), we see the rise of MDM (fueled in great part by BYOD) as the latest evolution in enterprise mobility. We encourage our customers to place BYOD in the larger context of enterprise mobility. When you remove the urgency of needing to do something for BYOD right away and instead have a more thoughtful analysis of what has come before and what might be needed after, it is a much more valuable conversation.

We believe that adopting a cloud strategy can help greatly reduce these risks: http://bit.ly/MivdVa Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:26:33 +0000 Annette Gardner http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/trendsandtechnology/byod-bring-your-own-device-disaster/#PageComment_27 http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/mobile-device-management/windows-8-byod-will-rise-to-the-surface/#PageComment_26 This just in today... worth a read: http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-surface-will-be-a-real-ipad-rival-in-the-enterprise-say-cios-7000000714/ "Microsoft's forthcoming Surface tablet is the iPad rival that businesses have been waiting for, according to CIOs around the world" Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:43:11 +0000 John Harrington http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/mobile-device-management/windows-8-byod-will-rise-to-the-surface/#PageComment_26 http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/trendsandtechnology/amazon-smartphone-smart-decision/#PageComment_25 Couldn't agree more Aaron. It appears the affordable alternate to high-end smartphones will compete well not only on price and ease of use, but size as well. A Wall Street Journal report that came in this morning states "the screen of Amazon's smartphone currently being tested measures between four and five inches," in comparison to the 3.5 inch display on the iPhone and the 4.8 inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S III. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB10001424052702303567704577519800332392724-lMyQjAxMTAyMDEwMTExNDEyWj.html Wed, 11 Jul 2012 12:49:27 +0000 John Harrington http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/trendsandtechnology/amazon-smartphone-smart-decision/#PageComment_25 http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/trendsandtechnology/amazon-smartphone-smart-decision/#PageComment_24 I think Amazon represents the opportunity to reach a very large portion of the market that might not consider a cellphone. They already have a very large database of users/credit cards on file, brand recognition, and users are familiar with the shopping experience. Kindle Fire sold like hotcakes not because it was a great device, but because it was "just enough" for most people. Folks like my dad, who just want to mess around on it and surf the web and don't care about specs. If Amazon can do the same thing with the phone - producing cheap hardware, with a well executed integrated set of Amazon services, I think they will do well. Combine the phone itself with what could be a very easy to use shopping experience for the phone. Pick your phone (maybe multiple capacities), then just pick your Monthly Plan. 1 click Ordering, billed to whatever Amazon already has on file for you. No mess, no headache going to some store to sign up or trying to navigate the byzantine maze of most carriers websites Tue, 10 Jul 2012 15:57:21 +0000 Aaron Kuhn http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/trendsandtechnology/amazon-smartphone-smart-decision/#PageComment_24 http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blog/mobilitymanagement/byod-resistance-is-futile-employees-are-smarter-than-you-think/#PageComment_21 You're right Nick, it should have said digital immigrants.

Most of the concerns we have in this industry is easily mitigated through clear policies and communication of our expectations as well as the employees expectation of access and ease of use to do the job we're paying them to do.
