According to Forrester, 50-60% of the enterprise market understands that the device diversity storm is coming; 20% of companies understand the risk of corporate data on employee owned devices; and fewer than 50% have a game plan to get there. With the complex problem of 5 platforms × innumerable devices × innumerable carriers, the path to getting out of the storm is to get well organized.

The most effective way to get ahead of the device diversity wave is to proactively devise a plan that shifts from ‘enforced standardization’ to ‘enabled compliance,’ taking into consideration:

• The Battle Royale – Multiple Mobile Application Delivery platform vendors vying for the top, with no expected winner in the long term.
• The Mobile Inevitabilities and Business Imperatives – The six vectors of high device penetration rates, growth of mobile apps, and high device diversity colliding with cost, risk and the issue of employee vs. corporate liable.
• The Policy Approach of Managed Diversity Framework – Platform vs. Appliance vs. Concierge to start saying ‘yes’.
• Enabled Compliance with Mobile User Management – The comprehensive plan to address all these issues with a proven, standards-based ITIL approach.
