Your Challenge:
- With the complexity of mobility increasing in most organizations, enterprise mobility management (EMM) is becoming necessary to manage devices, as well as all aspects of mobility.
- While EMM might seem simple from the outside, it has many moving parts. It covers devices, applications, data, security, policies, financial management, and help desk management.
- Without a detailed implementation plan to mitigate issues such as missing components, an unprepared IT department and help desk, and low end-user adoption, IT will find it difficult to ensure a successful launch.
Our Advice:
Critical Insight
- Mobility within organizations continues to grow more complex, and requirements for managing mobility now extend far beyond the device itself.
- As BYOD continues to grow and new products are released into the market, EMM will become a necessary tool for long-term sustainability and effective use of mobility.
- Without a proper implementation plan in place, organizations will find it difficult to achieve a suitable, unified solution for short and long-term sustainability of mobile management.
Impact and Result
- Prepare the organization for mobility by developing an implementation plan that covers EMM from start to finish, including selecting a vendor, managing help desk changes, engaging users, and developing an actionable timeline.
- Create a tailored solution for the unique needs of your organization.
Building a successful enterprise mobility roadmapPomeroy
Enterprise Mobility is not a new concept, but these days it is having a disruptive impact on many organizations. Many IT departments feel unable to respond effectively due to the influx of new devices and the growing internal demand for app development. When trying to deal with these challenges, the result is often the sacrifice of long-term effectiveness to meet short-term goals.
Now is the time to actively create a roadmap to guide your organization's mobility efforts, especially if Gartner's predictions prove accurate- that within 2 to 3 years, 40% of the workforce will be mobile and 70% of customers will interact with you via mobile device.
Driving Enterprise Mobility Solutions Demand: Understanding End User Requirem...VDC Research Group
VDC Research has been monitoring enterprise and government mobility user requirements through a series of targeted surveys. During this webcast, David Krebs, presented key findings from these 2010 end-user surveys. Some of the topics David addressed include: leading mobility applications enterprise and government organizations are investing in; adoption of/interest in next-generation form factors, such as slate tablets; leading mobile device functionality and form factor requirements; and mobile application development and distribution trends.
Mobile devices are becoming an increasingly important component of the typical organization’s IT infrastructure. For example, Osterman Research has found that 32% of the corporate workforce in mid-sized and large North American organizations employed a smartphone in late 2011; these figures will grow to 41% in 2012 and 50% by 2013. This white paper discusses the results of an in-depth survey it conducted on MDM issues. The goal of this research was to understand the problems, concerns and other issues that organizations face when attempting to manage mobile devices and integrate them with email systems, databases and various applications.

Le BYOD, les perspectives pour l’entrepriseClément Michel
Le Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) c'est LE phénomène qui touche tout le monde depuis quelques années. Les entreprises qui avaient un système de sécurité s’apparentant au modèle d'un "Château Fort" (protection totale vis-à-vis de l'extérieur) se retrouvent obligées de fonctionner selon un modèle "d'aéroport" où les flux entrent et sortent un peu partout. Si cette analogie vous a fait sourire vous risquez vite de revenir à la dure réalité : les smartphones et leurs confrères sont partout et il nous est impossible de ne plus nous en préoccuper...
Planning for BYOD and CYOD in future UCC infrastructureAnders Løkke
This slide deck was presented by Justin Bondi, Director of Worldwide Service Provider Architecture, as a part of the InfoComm University educational track at InfoComm 2016.
The presentation lasted 90 minutes, including a Q&A section at the end, and earned InfoComm University attendees 1.5 CTS Renewal Units.
This paper analyzes the challenges involved with BYOD, the ways to leverage the benefits and also brings out the best practices in order to effectively utilize the BYOD trend.
Enterprise mobility refers to the execution of mobile application development as a strategy that addresses the particular requirements of a company. Mobile technology is used to connect people, processes, and information. Enterprise mobility can improve how consumers interact with items and services.
The paper outlines a practical “how-to” guidance to strategize and implement more effective mobile enterprise programs and details the robust capabilities that mobile enterprise partners can bring to the development and support of your corporate owned device or BYOD mobile enterprise programs.
Consumer technology is invading the enterprise and IT must embrace it in order to encourage employee productivity and satisfaction. Info-Tech recommends that organizations allow personal mobile devices on their corporate networks. This research addresses the following:
•Understand differences in security and management between the three major platforms – BlackBerry, Apple iOS, and Google Android.
•Evaluate the organization's position on the mobile device security scale and determine if third-party infrastructure is necessary.
•Development and enforcement of a personal mobile acceptable use policy to encourage end-user compliance and foster success.
Embrace consumer technology in the enterprise, and focus on end-user compliance to leverage productivity and maximize the potential for success.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Abstract
Why Enterprise Mobility
Enterprise Mobility
This paper briefly explains how mobile IT can be integrated with the
organizational work processes and its internal systems, and how the
enterprise can benefit from Enterprise Mobility Solutions.
Smartphones and tablets have
today become ubiquitous all over
the world. People are getting
accustomed to accessing the
internet from their mobile devices.
According to recent Gartner
reports, by 2018, more than
50% of the population both in
emerging economies as well as
in the developed ones, will use a
smartphone or a tablet to access the
internet. The worldwide wearable
devices sales will grow 18.4 percent
in 2016. By
2020, more than half of the major new business
processes and systems around the world will
incorporate some elements of Internet of Things
(IoT) due to the reducing costs of instrumenting and
inter-connecting physical devices with sensors. The
public cloud market will also remain on a boom, as
per the research firm.
In such a scenario, it is becoming mandatory for
enterprises to adapt to their changing digital
environments. As, with a deluge of devices and
their apps entering the workplaces, not only is maintaining data security
becoming a major challenge, but also keeping the workers focused on their
jobs becoming an issue. While on the other hand, instead of considering
these devices and their apps as threats, if they are managed efficiently and
brought within the purview of the enterprise’s mainline resource base not
only would the security of corporate data get enhanced, but also worker’s
productivity considerably improve while further optimizing the usage of
the other resources involved.
Instead of considering the
mobile devices and their
apps as threats, they must
be managed efficiently
and brought within the
purviewoftheenterprise’s
mainline resource base.
3. Solution
Enterprise Mobility
In today’s digital environment contentis available anywhere on the go andis
also dynamically updated. You can access it anytime, anywhere, in any which
way you want. Thus, managing a plethora of mobile devices not to mention
the digital wearables like
smartwatches, body-
worn cameras, Bluetooth
headsets,smartgarments,
fitness monitors, etc.
would become a
nightmare for the IT
department, in absence
of relevant IT policies
and procedures. Hence,

not only when they are used within the organization premises, but
also when they are used outside the premises for the purposes of the
organization itself.
Once the policies are in place the next step would be to select the most
optimal mix of software and hardware solutions that would be suitable for
your enterprise. These solutions are broadly categorized under Enterprise
Mobility Management (EMM).
Enterprise Mobility Management can be segmented into:
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Choose Your Own Device (CYOD)
Mobile Applications Management (MAM)
Mobile Content Management (MCM)
Every year, Gartner evaluates the EMM providers from around the world
on their execution abilities and completeness of vision. Based on the
evaluation it places the providers on a quadrant.

▶ Mobile Device Management (MDM)
▶ Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Enterprise Mobility
Mobile Device Management is a way to ensure that employees do not
misuse their mobile devices and handhelds within the workplace and
remain productive. MDM primarily deals with using the latest crypto
techniques for encrypting and processing all corporate data like emails,
documents and enterprise applications
and containerizing them. Personal data
is segregated from corporate data on all
devices.
A server componentsends out management
commands to the mobile devices, while a
client component running on the mobile
devices receives and implements the
management commands. This adds an extra layer of security and ensures
a way to monitor all device related activities. Mobile apps, data and
configuration settings are distributed over the air for mobile phones,
tablets, mobile printers, mobile POS devices, etc. Recently, laptops and
desktops have also been added to the list of devices as MDM is becoming
more about basic device management.
Both company owned (CYOD) and employee owned (BYOD) devices are
progressively being managed and controlled by the MDM tools.
Drawbacks of MDM
1. Employees sometimes have to carry two devices to the workplace, one
for their personal use and the other for official use.
2. MDM does not work well with the BYOD model and works better with
the CYOD model.
3. MDM is not cost effective as it involves device procurement costs,
operational and capital costs.
BYOD is an evolving concept in EMM and is referred to as the IT
consumerization phenomenon. It is the policy of allowing employees
to bring in their own devices such as laptops, tablets, mobile phones or
any other digital wearable to office and access the privileged company
information and applications.
BYOD is perceived by employees as a convenience and enjoyment as they
can keep working with their choicest devices even in office. This also goes
to add to their efficiency as they can work from anywhere, anytime.
5. Enterprise Mobility
Many companies are fast adopting
BYOD as it boosts employee morale,
adds to their convenience, and makes
the organization look more flexible
and employee friendly. In a recent
study by Intel on BYOD usage in India,
six out of ten IT managers favoured
BYOD as it increased productivity and
employee satisfaction. Besides, BYOD is
cost effective as it reduces investments
in devices such as laptops, desktops,
phones, etc.
Drawbacks of BYOD
1. Chances of higher data breach like if an employee loses a mobile phone
which was used to access official emails, sensitive information could get
into the wrong hands.
2. Since employees would use the devices for personal browsing as well, it
raises the chances of higher malware and virus infections.
3. Governance breaches also increase due to the infiltration of personal
apps in the professional workspace.
▶ Choose Your Own Device (CYOD)
▶ Mobile Applications Management (MAM)
CYOD is similar to BYOD, only the devices, i.e. laptops, mobile phones,
tablets, etc. are pre-approved by the company and the security softwares,
firewalls, the set-up administrator and the network settings are offered as
pre-installed on these devices. The workers’ personal devices remain out
of the office network. Sometimes workers are allowed to carry the official
devices home on work-from-home assignments.
Although CYOD model involves cost incurrence in purchasing the devices
and their maintenance, it is more effective in preventing malware and
virus infections and governance breaches. The BYOD model is, therefore,
more cost effective in comparison to the CYOD model.
MAM describes the software, applications and services that are required
to provision and control the various devices operated inside the office
premises. It is the glue that binds the various devices with their respective
applications and software for optimized usage, and ultimately, more
efficient performance of the workforce. It finds application in both CYOD
and BYOD models. For e.g., when an employee brings his personal device
to office the corporate IT staff downloads the required mobile applications
or software into the mobile device for controlling access over confidential
corporate data.

Enterprise Mobility
MAM not only enhances data security, but enterprises have also started
offering various mobile applications to their
workers for corporate utilities like tracking
their whereabouts, automated billing, receiving
and making payments, enterprise resource
management, human resource management,
fleet tracking, etc.
Drawbacks of MAM
1. MAM is expensive as it requires building
the right mobile applications for enhancing
entrepreneurial decision making.
2. Version upgrade becomes difficult as this is
bundled along with application.
3. Control can be at the application level only, if not integrated with MDM.
▶ Mobile Content Management (MCM)
MCM is corporate data management system over the mobile platform.
It is the capability of a company to store and deliver corporate data and
services to the mobile devices with such precision that not only the work
gets done, but complete data security is also maintained. It is the effective
dissemination and protection of IT related information to the workers.
Drawbacks of MCM
1. For MCM to work efficiently a native mobile app is required.
2. MCM has limited platform support and works well with only iOS and
Android.
To arrive at the most optimum EMM solution suite, an enterprise first has
to devise the right IT policies. Once the IT policies are in place, the right
people have to be hired who can implement and execute these policies
for highest data security while supporting the workers when they use
their mobile devices in office. There is no optimum EMM suite in general
that suits all. Since different businesses have different needs and occupy
different positions in the market, each business must find its own optimum
EMM solutions mix.
The Optimum EMM Solution Mix
EMM solutions suite includes the following services:

Device Authentication Authorization
Applications Version Management
Maintaining Data Security
Maintaining Reports Statistics
It is imperative to install multi-layered
authentication procedures through Username,
DevicePasswordsandOTPs(OneTimePasswords)
to keep a check on whether the devices asking
access are user owned or company owned,
and to enable geo-location based data access
and authentication. This would help in effective
geo-location tracking by keeping a tab on the
location of the devices that log in.

based upon the device OS compatibility. Sending out push notifications
informing the user to go for the next upgrade when there is a change in
technology, or to restrict app access temporarily to address security flaws that
come up are key to app maintenance and versioning.
This service includes encrypting the data to restrict access, disabling the data
sharing applications or utilities on authorized devices, automatic deletions
of sensitive corporate data on authorized devices based on ‘time to live’
certificates, encrypting data communication on top of SSL protocol for data
security, implementing asymmetric encryption key algorithms for transport
layer data security.
Remote Data Wipe is another useful feature that wipes out all sensitive data
at the application or container level from any device remotely, in case it is lost
or stolen.
Customized reports and statistics go a long way in adding value to the app
features, Regular updates in designing and updating records for better
insight are necessary actions for the enterprise’s mobile strategy. Some useful
measurement metrics are app usage vs. platform, app vs. platform versions,
app vs. device OEMs, app vs. location, etc.
Mobile Applications Provisioning Deployment
Since enterprise gets utility based mobile apps created for enabling mobility
for specific enterprise functionalities like billing, mCommerce, ERP, HRM, fleet
monitoring, field force management, sales force management or accounting,
etc., it is advisable that the enterprise provisions
alloftheseappsfromacentrallocationonly,such
as the enterprise app store. This would ensure
the accessibility of certified applications through
authorized devices by valid persons only.

Multi-platform Handling Capabilities
Purpose-built Platform
Growing Customer Base
Listing out a set of IT rules and regulations to be followed by employees when
theyusetheirpersonalmobiledevicesinoffice,oruseofficedevicesauthorized
for usage at home is an essential necessity. The rules can be enforceable at the
user, device and application levels. Policies like restricting app usage during
office hours, blacklisting particular websites and applications, disabling app
usage outside office premises, restricting the number of logins from particular
devices, etc. are some examples of policy management.
Mobile technology is fast evolving and every six months a new operating
software getsintroduced.Ifyoudoarealitycheckonsomewell-knownmobile
apps that were a rage few years back but are extinct now,
you will find that many of them disappeared due to non-
adaptability with their fast changing OS environments.
Hence, to create your enterprise grade mobile app,
you must choose a provider who is proficient with
multiple platforms and not just a specialist of one. Such
a provider will be able to modify and re-strategize your
mobile app according to its changing environment.
Choose a vendor whose platform was built from the ground up with the
vision of servicing industries so that it can offer scalability and reliability that
your enterprise would need for its transition to mobility.
In addition to a strong vision and a robust infrastructure your EMM provider
must also have a growing database of satisfied customer base and focus on
customer engagements. Are they servicing across a wide range of industry
verticals or are they servicing a narrow segment of the market? A vendor with
a broad portfolio should be preferred.
