One of the most compelling parts of working in the tech industry as an independent pundit is that you get to speak to a wide variety of vendors and have frank, candid conversations. The tone and depth of these conversations is such that, in all likelihood, they would not have them with others – particularly their competitors.
While I have the good fortune of being able to do so, on a nearly daily basis, I will admit to you that I sometimes feel as if I have an “unfair” advantage, especially when talking about enterprise mobility in the healthcare industry.

My step father is a physician - a geriatrician to be precise. Not only does he spend his days taking care of people in the twilight of their years, he's also the medical director for non-acute care at the largest hospital network in the Boston area. I adore this man.
Beyond the table stakes that he is so kind and caring to my mom, he's not your typical physician. He can intelligently talk about an incredibly broad range of subjects, and in fact I often find myself talking to him about how mobility can and could impact the healthcare industry. His input has been absolutely invaluable in helping me have more smarter conversations with other medical professionals regarding enterprise mobility.
Some of that thinking comes through in the latest article I have penned for FierceMobileIT.

I just stumbled upon a couple of great articles over at my friends Mobile Enterprise Magazine talking about who owns the device that's glued to your hand and/or head. The first article (a very good read by the way) was a bit of a WES recap - focused on one of the sessions that took place there. The follow-on article was based upon a poll that Susan Nunziata took of MEM readers. It got me thinking about how complex the whole question of who owns the device is...and also what the implications are to an organization in terms of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC).

While I write and speak only about wireless and mobility as it pertains to the benefits these technologies can deliver to the enterprise, I must admit to being a geek who enjoys reading up on a wide array of technologies. As such, I read many of the popular tech sites and regular follow the articles of the key columnists. John C. Dvorak over at PC Magazine is one of my favorite columnists...he usually has some pretty insightful things to share, with the occasional sprinkle of a comment to stir the pot. Well, he certainly succeeded at stirring the pot with me on this recent article "The iPhone Is No Desktop."

In the last 18 months, mobility has become one of the most exciting facets of the I.T. industry. That said, mobility is still a relatively new area for enterprise I.T. departments. Almost every day, new devices, applications, services and tools are driving opportunities for organizations to:
- Accelerate the speed at which they and their employees react to external events;
- Ensure that employees are able to address customer needs as quickly as possible;
- Ultimately fulfill mobility's promise of allowing individuals to be "productive" regardless of where they're located.

This is another article I wrote in the January edition of Mobile Enterprise Magazine.
Enterprise mobile messaging, particularly push email service, seems to be an almost de facto tool for the mobile executive. BlackBerry alone has almost 7 million users thumbing away at their devices every day. Does this mean that the market for push email devices is already saturated?

In case you missed it, here's a copy of my latest article in the June edition of Mobile Enterprise Magazine.
Travel. The necessary evil for the growth of so many organizations around the world. In fact, Aberdeen Group’s November 2006 benchmark report, “Enterprise Mobile Adoption: a Corporate Conundrum,” showed that within the next 12 months mobile workers will account for 47 percent of the workforce of a typical organization. What’s more, Aberdeen’s latest research on enterprise mobility shows that organizations already consider 30 percent of their employees to be road warriors (i.e., those who spend at least 25 percent of their time traveling).
