Social Security and Medicare costs are only going to get worse as our population ages. And those costs are what is really tanking the federal budget.
I don't think that SS or Medicare are a part of the annual budget. I think those are separate and fully operate when the government shuts down because a budget has not passed.
Could be wrong though.
Even if they had push apps, the value proposition isn't there any more.
You could be right about the value, but in my job security trumps a small difference in value. I choose not to allow VPN to BYOD devices. I also chose to containerize business apps/email that cannot interact with the personal space on the device.
To block with activesync: "New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule –QueryString 'Outlook for iOS and Android' –Characteristic DeviceModel –AccessLevel Block"
To quarantine: "New-ActiveSyncDeviceAccessRule –QueryString 'Outlook for iOS and Android' –Characteristic DeviceModel –AccessLevel Quarantine"
BES 1x doesn't do our corporate apps.
The corporate VPN already does secure connections fine. Just a new client.
And people want tablets that are not worth trying to shoehorn into BES.
Oh, and it's all cheaper.
I don't think you've checked. BES12 covers tablets just fine. I haven't tried to push apps yet, but I have heard that they are working to expand that area for iOS and Android.
The plan where I work is to roll out first IOS and then Android apps to securely run corporate email, calendar, etc (?) Over the VPN. Then kill the BES servers.
Security is a very big deal here. That's why the mobile apps are taking so long to be finished. BES is no longer worth the money, and we all want to use our own phone anyways.
Then use BES10 or BES12. It can create secure containers in iOS and Android that completely separates sensitive company data from the rest of the device - just like BB does. It's perfect for BYOD.
I'm not sure that allowing the devices to VPN into the corporate network is a good idea. I'm not sure how you would control access without some sort of mobile management software like BES12 or other alternatives.
the default client for iPhone (mail, contacts, calendar) has supported the exchange protocol for many years now.
No, they have supported ActiveSync which is different from MAPI. They are not the same protocol.
I use Sophos at the office and they allow free home use for all employees. It's solid stuff.
Code once (HTML5)for many devices (iOS, Android, BB, Windows, etc). Problem solved. Most mobile apps pull information from the web anyway. Save on developer costs too.
Is it monthly averages that they average for the year? Is it daily data that is averaged for the whole year?
Are you really not aware that those are the same number?
If so, well it's good that you seem to realize that you truly do not belong in this discussion.
No, they would not be the same number. Thanks.
I'm curious, how do they average for the whole year? Is it monthly averages that they average for the year? Is it daily data that is averaged for the whole year?
No, I didn't RTFA. Just curious is all.
Seeing how Ford will have QNX in almost all of their cars going forward, I'd say that QNX is a nice little profit for BB.
I'm talking about the BES12 service, not the legacy server. But even the legacy server was ridiculously easy to manage by anyone with half a brain.
In my state they made preschool "free". Within the year the tuition costs tripled from previous levels that were flat the previous 5 years. Every time the government offers something for free it's cost becomes unbearable.
They still have the best mobile management software out there. Citrix, Good, MobileIron, etc can't touch BB's offerings.
Plus they have QNX which is used in billions of devices around the world. So what if their handhelds aren't popular? Who cares? They will continue to have a niche market in handhelds.
