2013 to Be the Year of BYOD and MDM
IT Connection Blog by Gary Barton
Summary Bullets:
- BYOD should be seen as an opportunity to boost worker efficiency.
- BYOD creates security challenges, but there are effective MDM solutions available.
2013 should be the year when the cloud stops being a buzz word and starts to gain real traction, particularly for IP voice and unified communications (UC) services. The ‘cloud’ is an amorphous and much abused term, but despite its presence on the homepage of every telecoms provider in Europe, take-up of fully hosted voice and UC solutions has been slower than the hype would suggest. Persuading enterprises to part with their PBX is challenging.
