Webinars

Join Analyst Zeus Kerravala discuss the wheels of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) already having been set in motion within your company. The consumerization of IT means that you have a rising volume of users who want to leverage their favorite devices anywhere, anytime. And they expect that these devices will work regardless of the application they need and with the same level of performance they get from their personal use. These requirements are a tall order for IT, but with the right insights and planning it can be your opportunity to shine. This webinar will focus on the strategies you need to have in place to not only have IT viewed as a driver of BYOD but also having an operational preparedness to manage/deliver an optimal end-user experience to any device.
