Mobilizing the Enterprise. I spend a lot of time talking to people about the mobile enterprise. Sometimes it’s people I work with, or friends who work at other companies, over twitter, or just people who reach out to ask a question or two about mobilizing their company. There has to be a reason to go mobile. Going Mobile.

Do You Need A Mobile Ecosystem? No matter what you read these days when it comes to mobility in the enterprise there always seems to be a section on building your mobile ecosystem. Part of this mobile strategy that you are told you have to build requires that you create a mobile ecosystem for your devices to play in.

I participated in a tweet chat yesterday that was premised on the fact that mobile malware exists and what can you do to prevent it on your devices in the enterprise. They will tell you that the majority of malware out there is Android based but that there is some iOS malware out there as well.

Apps aren’t the only thing that enterprises need to be doing to be successful as they will rely on cloud and big data but apps will be the third leg of the tripod that they will stand on. let’s not argue mobile as a leg itself yet, but, yes, it will turn the tripod into a chair). Not all apps should be mobile.

If all you have is a mobile strategy you’ve already failed! Let’s be fair, everywhere you look you can’t miss some article screaming on how you need a mobile strategy, or a BYOD strategy, or a mobile expense strategy. Every vendor these days has something that can help you to get started with your mobile strategy.

The premise for mobile in the enterprise is simple. I talk to too many people in different companies that believe they have to go mobile because everyone else is. There is no plan and they end up shocked when they don’t get any value out of mobilizing their workforce. Enabling your users is more than giving them a mobile device.

Why BYOD doesn’t really matter or how I learned to embrace a mobile strategy Part 1. What is required is a mobile strategy. When this mobile strategy is done correctly, BYOD is already covered should an organization choose to follow that route. So, what do you need to have as part of you mobile strategy to be successful.

Now, let’s be clear here, it’s not a function of a BYOD program that is driving these benefits but the fact that a company has added a mobile component to their strategy. Most studies are showing that workers who have been mobile enabled are working at least an extra hour a day and on average are actually working an extra 7 hours a week.
