I just went through this with a few execs who want some new Incredible phone from Verizon. I met with the execs, said that IT didn't have the bandwitdh to support anything other than BB's and iPhones (and we only do those begrudgingly)...
Luckily, the execs backed me on this and it hasn't been an issue. BTW, I discovered how many people were using non-BB's on our network a few weeks ago when I turned on a policy on our OWA server to password lock devices. I had people showing up complain with iPads and all sorts of other Windows mobile devices whose devices suddenly required a password... ----- Original Message ---- From: Art Alexion <[email protected]> To: A_List_for_BES_Admin's_to_discuss issues <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, July 21, 2010 11:06:51 AM Subject: [Bes-admins] Droid X I am starting to get pressure from some top level managers to support these. Coincidentally, they were the same managers who 2 years ago drove the decision to switch from Palm Treos to BB. Of course, when they drove the BB decision, they had no idea about the task of deploying BES, they just think a phone is a phone from an IT perspective. In the two years since I have deployed BES and taught myself how to use it, I think it is one of the best decisions they made for me. No more running to desks to fix one phone at a time. My personal phone is the HTC Evo. I love the phone. But I don't want to support individual phones again. I just don't have the resources, and don't want to take a step backwards in efficiency. Whether you have faced the issue with iPhones or Android, I am looking for suggestions on how you resisted management pressure to support these non-enterprise phones. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [email protected] Philadelphia, PA 19144 267-615-3172 _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list [email protected] http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- Bes-Admins mailing list is sponsored by Dataoutagenews.com. http://www.dataoutagenews.com _______________________________________________ Bes-Admins mailing list [email protected] http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins http://www.dataoutages.com http://www.dataoutagenews.com RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bes-admins --------------------------------- Bes-Admins mailing list is sponsored by Dataoutagenews.com. http://www.dataoutagenews.com
