Last night I was with one of my techie friend discussing many topics, doing chit chat and “Enterprise Mobility” topic came up. I was shocked to hear about his views on What is the meaning of Enterprise Mobility. What I heard, Enterprise Mobility is all about Blackberries, devices, smartphones, checking emails, contacts and calendar on the phone. I had to take a step back and describe to him what is the meaning of “Enterprise Mobility” in new World.
So what’s is really Enterprise Mobility?
Enterprise Mobility is a concept which enables employees to work from anywhere, anytime and from any device. Enterprise Mobility provides access to enterprise data to its employees anywhere, anytime on any device. This device could be any digital connected ‘instrument’, like laptop, smartphone, smart watches and even smart TVs. In IoT world, it could be any electronic which has power to process data and connected to internet.
This concept looks very simple but very complex to implement. Enterprises have to ensure data is secured all the time irrespective where it travels and stored, privacy and compliances are met.
One more term is tightly associated with Enterprise Mobility “BYOD”, Bring your own Device. There was a time when this term was relevant but now with new gadgets are coming into the market, it should be called as BYOE - Bring your own Electronic.
Bottomline, secure data anytime, anywhere, ensure privacy and meet compliances. Enterprise Mobility is not about devices or electronics. It is all about enabling employees to work and access corporate data from anywhere, anytime without worrying about data security, electronic gadget and privacy.
