Wedneseday, Nov 16, 2011 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST |
| Description |
IT departments are being forced more and more to allow consumer-related technology into the company. While traditionally the mantra was to shove a BlackBerry into your hands when you joined, now days employees want to bring iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and other technology into the workplace.
It may be beneficial to allow a "Bring Your Own Device" model but how do you handle the challenges that this model introduces? We will take a look at what has caused the "Consumerization of IT" movement and tell you how to successfully embrace it.
We will cover how to manage multiple different mobile devices, handle more consumer apps, and how to extend capabilities to those devices. Join us to learn how you can get in front of the wave and benefit from it.
