Mobility: A Holistic Approach to Managing Connectivity and Devices

Does it seem like your employees are working everywhere but the office these days?

They're working from home offices, airports, hotels, coffee shops, even cars. They're using laptops, PDAs, cell phones and whatever new device comes along.

These remote workers certainly offer the promise of greater productivity and faster results. Then again, mobility poses new challenges like security, connectivity and managing the ever-changing array of locations and devices. But how many companies truly grasp the challenges at hand? And more importantly, how can they conquer these challenges?

To answer those questions and more, we turn to a leading expert in this field, Eric Paulak. Paulak is a managing vice president and the lead analyst for Network Services and Infrastructure research at Gartner.

In this Gartner podcast, Paulak discuses how a holistic approach to mobility includes not just providing access, but also managing the devices used by remote and mobile workers. These devices pose the greatest risk and are the most difficult to manage, and because of this, it is important to do so as part of connectivity management.
