Require employees to report lost or stolen mobile devices immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>Fast Mobility<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Allowing employees to use their personal mobile devices for work is commonly referred to as a Bring Your Own Device Policy. \u00a0Make sure your wireless network (WiFi) has sufficient bandwidth and range so your employees have fast access to mobile applications including email, corporate applications and data. \u00a0This will ensure your employees are productive and happy at work.<\/p>\n<h3>Mobile Applications<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mobility is a top IT trend so many software publishers offer mobile extensions to their applications. \u00a0Email, customer service, calendars and scheduling applications make it easy for employees to stay on top of their tasks when away from their desks. \u00a0Other mobile applications including: visitor sign in, customer loyalty applications and even credit card processing, all which \u00a0can replace paper based and other manual processes within a business.<\/p>\n<h3>IT Consumerization and Mobility<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adoption of mobility for personal use has made it easy for non technical users to download, install and configure a wide range of mobile applications. \u00a0As mobile apps become popular in the workplace, it can be easy for employees to connect apps to corporate data. \u00a0If unauthorized, this method of deployment is known as Rogue IT. \u00a0Through written policies, procedures and education you can reduce the amount of Rogue IT in your company.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"docs-internal-guid-2071f2b2-2100-2284-a8af-ce226d7b0295\">By developing a mobility strategy for your business you can manage the risks of mobility in the workplace and empower your employees to work anywhere. \u00a0With proper planning, you can migrate to mobility and take advantage of this important IT trend.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobility and mobile
