Josh Sirota, Principal Architect, MobileIron
Enterprises are embracing mobile, but have a lot of different strategies and a lot of different needs from their management tools. IT pros need to understand BYOD and COPE, MDM, MAM and MIM. It's a lot to take in. We will discuss the current state of the Mobile IT industry, the ways that enterprises "go mobile", and what the best-of-breed IT management tools can do to help enterprises achieve their visions and needs.

5. The technology landscape

MDM: Traditionally the “command & control” system that configures, monitors
devices, provides inventorying, etc.
MAM: Provides an application store and the ability to extend MDM functions into
enterprise and commercially developed apps. Standalone options exist, but lack
of integration with MDM and devices makes for challenging implementations.
MIM / MCM: Enables access to content resources, either established enterprise
repositories (e.g. CIFS, SharePoint) or new, mobile-specific content repositories
(e.g. Box)
MEM - Mobile Enterprise Management:
Technology that allows for all aspects of an enterprise mobility deployment to be
managed from a single platform. Combines the best of MDM, MAM and MIM
7. Navigating the hype
BYOD is becoming the norm
– IDC: More personal devices than corporate devices sold for business use
– Forrester: ~60% of companies have a BYOD initiative in place
– MobileIron: 70% of customers have a BYOD initiative in place
Beware the buzzword
– Hype hides complexity
– Hype creates false expectations
– Hype results in ill-formed initiatives and disillusionment
Driver of BYOD should be choice, not cost
BYOD != “Let users have whatever they want”
8. BYOD programs must be responsible not
restrictive
BYOD programs cannot damage the user experience
• Diminish value to the enterprise
• Limit user adoption
• Limit user productivity
10. BYOD program components
Prepare
• Establish Goals and
charter
• Stakeholder
accountability - HR,
Legal, IT, LOB
• Employee survey

(including regional)
User experience is the litmus test for BYOD adoption and sustainability
Build
• Staffing and resource
recommendation
• Employee

evolution
11. BYOD evolution
“Help-yourself-desk” will drive economics
Identity will become strategic glue across services
BYOEà Experience = Device + App + Connectivity
Mobile BYOD principles will apply to laptops/desktops
OS turbulence will continue as user preferences shift
12. Selecting your OS(es) of choice
• Very consistent OS
distribution globally
• Many enterprise &
prosumer apps
available
• Robust, consistent
enterprise support;
• Requires agreement
with Apple developer
programs
• Limited hardware
selection & discounts
12
• Reuse of Visual Studio
resources toward mobile
app development
• MSFT support & svcs
• Unique user interface
design
• Support for MDM on
smartphones now.
Laptops, tablets coming
• SCCM policies not
directly applicable

variants in wild (41%
run Android <= 2.3)
• Flexibility in app
development &
distribution
• Wide variety of HW
• Deep enterprise
support through
ODMs & software
14. I. Experience
• Singular function … not comprehensive features
• Fast cycles … 8 week dev, 9 month life, 3 platforms
• High expectations … UX litmus test for adoption
Consumer apps for the employee
... not …
Business apps for the enterprise
19. III. Role of IT
