Understand and Manage Consumerization
Love it or hate it, just don’t ignore it.
- It is expected that by 2013, every worker will bring a personal or unmanaged device (PUD) into the workplace.
- This additional number and diversity of devices (tablets, smartphones, laptops), as well as the diversity of these devices (Windows, OSX, Android, iOS, Blackberry), presents a challenge to the Infrastructure Manager.
- In an era of infrastructure budget constraints, Infrastructure Managers are finding it difficult to get the additional budget to secure the network against PUDs.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- You must act: it is more expensive to do nothing than to invest in the necessary infrastructure to secure and enable PUDs.
- This is an organizational problem, and must be dealt with as such.
- The Infrastructure Manager is in a unique position to take control and enable user productivity while securing corporate assets.
Impact and Result
- PUDs are a potential opportunity to reinvent the way end users interact with the organization’s infrastructure.
- Take advantage of PUDs to bring about changes that will ultimately enable the users to be productive.
- The same infrastructure that enables users will ultimately be more stable and secure.
