Q5: How do you see this increase in #mobile device access affecting the #secure Mobile Workspace and #BYOD?
Jon Hassell
BYOD has its roots in people tiring of corp security. Mobile workspaces have to factor in user experience too.
Marina Donovan
@jghassell it has to be a seamless experience for the user and no headaches for #IT
Michael Osterman
BYOD also comes from people wanting the latest and greatest. IT, on the other hand, has to deal with that pesky notion of cost vs. value. :-)
Chris Louie
IT Security ranks security as top priority, end users rank convenience and ease of use as top, Management will have to find a good balance
Leon Brown
Separating my stuff from mycompanies stuff is critical. I hate IT touching my PC
Barbara Nelson
Privacy is another benefit it #mobileworkspace User's personal files/apps completely protected from corporate apps/data
Marina Donovan
@leonnyan @furrier #WindowsToGo for #BYOD provides the separation for personal data and corporate data
John Furrier
@barbaranelsonca great response - the corporate #data is very much a top priority in all companies that I speak wiht
Barbara Nelson
privacy is a big issue in US - even bigger issue internationally
Chris Louie
Organizations can build a sandbox to separate work and personal data, make users carry two laptops, have no separation, or use #WindowsToGo
Dennis Howlett
Jumping in here - wondering whether the new upgrade plans offered by Apple will influence how orgs view BYOD - so for example will it allow for a recapturing of device control or is it unnecessary with current state of the art?
Jon Hassell
Feels like IT provisioning phones to users is a ship that has sailed
Barbara Nelson
Almost all #WindowstoGo use cases are PC and Mac
Jon Hassell
I think if anything, there will be even more demand for "latest and greatest" since a new flagship every year is very possible for many users
Chris Louie
@jghassell BYO seems here to stay, organizations can embrace it and secure it or deal with angry users who will try and work around it
Michael Osterman
I think that BYO becomes more and less relevant: more, in the sense that it will become the de facto standard, but less in that a secure mobile workspace negates the security risks associated with BYO.

@Chlouie @jghassell Big time. The consumer phone fleet as a whole turns over every 12 or 18 months and I'm sure the collective corporate fleet moves much slower.
John Furrier
@jghassell IT provisioning phones - ship sailed years ago
John Furrier
@dahowlett great question Dennis - I will defer to the experts on this chat
Leon Brown
@dahowlett I took the plans as Apple grabbing device revenue back from carriers. And @jghassell noted relationship with customer is stronger too - lower chance of in-store x-sell to different manufacturer.
Chris Louie
@dahowlett It helps to get people off of older, possibly less secure versions of the OS as well. Upgrade your phone and you automatically are on the latest OS
Dennis Howlett
@leonnyan Interesting - I am predicting (along with others) that Apple will become your carrier broker as well because it simplifies the user experience. Sometime in 2017. They have the soft SIM patent in place that would allow for that.
Leon Brown
@dahowlett Interesting - lease device at Apple and pick a carrier plan (iCarrier Store). Doubt the carriers would go for the ride with them...
Chris Louie
@dahowlett First get your TV shows, music, and movies through Apple TV, next get your phone service #AppleAsAService
Dennis Howlett
@Chlouie we parsed the conversation here as speculation but not madness: http://diginomica.co...

@dahowlett this Carrier infecting the USBs is interesting and auto manufacturers having USB ports etc.. #hacking #playground
