We own and managed all of our device. Knowing that third party application could cause problems for the device and potentially be sending out corporate information (e.g. facebook 1.6) we have stuck to disallowing application unless they have been reviewed and approved. But this becomes an admin nighmare because we have to manage the install and support.

Thus requiring support visits, OS reloads, etc. End-Training. Users ask how these work, I shake my head and tell them RTFM. Memory Leaks. Benefits: Um.... Now I allow 3rd party apps on all enterprise BBs, only reason - we do not own the BBs...each BB is user-owned.

We currently disallow installation of 3rd party applications using IT policy. This has caused various complaints and request from our user base. How do you deal with third party applications? Is there any risk/benefits to the approach? Regards, Dzung The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
