On the remote wipe...

 

This really only pertains to the iPhone - in my haste to deliver an
email quickly I neglected to expound what I was referring to.  Should an
iPhone user ever lose their phone, there are a few things that
management worries about (I had to dig into some past emails to gather
data on this...if these issues are outdated please let me know!)

 

Find my Phone can be disabled to prevent us from sending a wipe command

For an iPhone to receive a Remote Wipe - you need to be connected to the
internet.  Removing the SIM card takes the phone off the grid.

 

 

 

Thank you,

Mark

As far as security goes, I dont see how removing the sim from a
blackberry is any different.  You simply cannot wipe a phone after it
has been unplugged from the network.

 

But what makes Blackberry such a nice corp phone is the combo of remote
wipe and local wipe after X amount of password attempts.  That way even
if the phone is unplugged it will wipe if 'brute forced'.

Well Art...I have been trying to get these phones supported actually at
our work (local County government).

I can give you the reasons that Management has given us as to why we
will not support them..

Manpower - we don't have the manpower to learn a new OS (or multiple
OS).
Security - Cannot remote wipe these phones if SIM Card is removed PRIOR
to your organization getting the 'kill command' out to the phone.

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.
