Area of Expertise: Mobile Device Security and Management
Your thoughts on current state of mobility: Smartphones in the enterprise….. RIM is on the slow decline and will need enterprises to take a serious look at their tablet, the playbook (great device in my opinion), to gain any traction. BB 10 may be too late. Apple is on the rise due to their commitment to mobile device management and Google has some things they need to figure out before full adoption, but it appears they are committed to do so (eventually). Microsoft is a wildcard, Windows Phone 7 has a good OS and is great for consumers, but not so much for the Enterprise….will Windows 8 change this, unknown at this point.
Though many enterprises and public sector organizations have already implemented mobile device management (MDM) solutions, a majority have yet to optimize bring your own device (BYOD) policies by implementing mobile application management (MAM) tools. Mobile applications are becoming more crucial components of enterprise mobility strategies, especially when it comes to productivity and file sharing.
