Mformer Issue 11 - September, 2011 The Enterprise Consumerization Issue

Mformer is our quarterly news, opinion and research newsletter. In this issue, we discuss the increasingly mobilized enterprise and some of the implications for employees, IT departments, managed service providers and mobile operators. Our feature article, by Rowan Scranage, our SVP of Corporate Strategy, Business Development and Marketing, examines the specific ways in which enterprise mobility, specifically the growing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon, has become a beachhead in the wave of consumerization within the enterprise. The article discusses the implications of BYOD and other consumerization trends, and outlines effective ways for enterprise IT to meet the challenges of a more consumerized enterprise. In addition, our CTO details specific tactics and technologies that enterprises can use today to succeed with enteprise consumerization, and our Chief Scientist looks looks into the future of enterprise IT in light of continued trends toward a mobility infrastructure that breaks down the walls of the enterprise and moves us toward an "any place, any time" work environment.
