Limitations of the Walled Garden for “Bring-Your-Own-Device” (BYOD), Chapter 2

This is the second part in a MobileIron Whitepaper series designed to help organizations develop their “BYOD” (bring-your-own-device) strategies for personally-owned smartphones and tablets in the enterprise. Chapter 1 of the series, “Building Bring Your Own Device Strategies,” introduced core components of a BYOD program. Chapter II compares two technical approaches to BYOD: the walled garden vs. the enterprise workspace. The “enterprise workspace” approach to BYOD is secure, cost-effective, extends to apps, and drives user satisfaction. It allows IT to configure, monitor, and control enterprise data and access across the mobile device without compromising the native user experience. This is the approach MobileIron takes to BYOD. We will describe this approach in detail in Chapter 3 of this series.

Building “Bring-Your-Own-Device” (BYOD) Strategies, Chapter 1

Many organizations are considering personally-owned mobile devices for business apps. Their goal is to drive employee satisfaction and productivity through the use of new technologies, while simultaneously reducing mobile expenses. This BYOD trend is one of the more dramatic results of the consumerization of IT, in which consumer preference, not corporate initiative, drives the adoption of technologies in the enterprise. However, many of these technologies were not built with enterprise requirements in mind, so IT teams often feel uncomfortable about security and supportability.
