In the first blog of this series, Components of a Holistic Mobility Solution we described several components that are integral to a full mobility solution. This included the management of devices and applications, applications and client virtualization, data access and protection as well as identity management. In this post, we are going to discuss mobile…

Most people who’ve been in the workforce for a decade or more remember a time when they had to carry two mobile phones with them everywhere they went — one for work and one for personal use. It’s a clunky setup that has been replaced in many (but not all) organizations by bring-your-own-device (BYOD) or…

When mobile devices first arrived for consumers, organizations introduced bring your own device (BYOD) programs in an attempt to accommodate these new tools in the workplace. Over time, this model evolved at many organizations to “choose your own device,” allowing users to work with the smartphones and tablets they’re most comfortable with, while also enabling…

To be competitive, organizations are embracing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) solutions. The benefits are clear. By empowering your workforce with anytime, anywhere access to enterprise data with their own devices, you’re giving them more freedom while boosting productivity and profitability. But with greater access to enterprise data, information and applications from personal devices creates more exposure to…

Mobility has transformed business. Customers now bank while waiting in supermarket checkout lines and order groceries as they sit in the bank drive-through line. Retailers send discount offers to shoppers’ phones while they’re still in the store, and insurance companies let customers file claims and upload damage photos via smartphone apps. 

Mobile security is a hot topic — but it may not be hot enough. Mobile data leaks are detrimental to a business. Today’s knowledge workers are walking around with extremely valuable corporate data on their notebooks, tablets and smartphones. And, according to a 2014 InformationWeek report, 45 percent of companies surveyed suffered data loss when…

Mobility is dramatically changing the workplace to make companies more agile, efficient and productive. But these benefits don’t come without costs, and one of those costs is security. As more work is done on mobile devices that could fall into anyone’s hands, sensitive corporate data and documents must be appropriately protected. Companies must be diligent…

Unified communications has been a focus of businesses for quite some time. Dubbed as “UC,” it is simply the integration of real time communications (e.g., voice, video, etc.) with non-real time communications (e.g., voicemail, email, etc.). As companies continue their never-ending search to “do more with less,” unified communications has become a prime target to…

The enterprise network of the not-so-distant future promises to usher in a whole new era of modernization and efficiency. Wireless access has become the infrastructure force majeure, video traffic has allowed for more perceptive communication and underlying infrastructures have become more responsive and logical. 

Mobility has changed the way people work. Today’s knowledge workers typically keep at least one mobile device within arm’s reach all day — sometimes even all night. Providing them with secure mobile access to the resources they need to do their jobs enables them to be productive whether they’re in the office, at home or on…
