IT-ization of consumers  E-mail

IT-ization of consumersAs a follow-up of my previous post, about how we are adopting consumer-level products in an entrepreneur environment; we have a mirror trend to adopt the same personal device along the corporate IT policy.

At the end, it's same device. If we think about it from an efficiency point of view, we just need the same access policy, and we have all users/employees connected under one policy.

There are several benefits. Users are not going to try "another ways" to circumvent IT policy. They are accepted under a formal guideline.

By setting official policies on the use of mobile phones in the workplace, you can gain control over the devices with encryption, PIN requirements, and the option to remotely wipe data in case of a lost phone. Try to ban them, and you risk circumvention and security risks.

Intel adopted this trend, and ended up with 15,000 mobile devices hooked up to its e-mail system; nearly two-thirds of them were owned by employees. This was a big win for end users, for the budget, and for efficiency.

I appreciate your post. I also wrote that SMS advertising provides a cost effective method of targeting promotions to specific customer profiles. You might want to remind customers of specific events or promotions, but for whatever reasons, SMS allows you to pass information directly to the right customer at very affordable prices and fast delivery.iso 9000
