| 9:15 am - 10:00 am | Bring Your Own Design: Implementing BYOD Without Going Broke or Crazy Eric Stresen-Reuter, Technical Director, Ruckus Wireless When it comes to BYOD, few companies want to implement every bell and whistle because (a) they don’t have time, (b) they don’t have the skilled staff, (c) they don’t have the budget, (d) they don’t see the need, or more likely, (e) all of the above. Since Wi-Fi takes center stage in any BYOD initiative, the good news is most organizations already have the right network components to address their BYOD basics without having to purchase more network equipment. This session will focus on how to simply address BYOD issues without a lot of pain and anguish. Topics will include identifying and managing devices, providing simple device security and access, role-based access, and visibility. | |||

In this session, learn about the steps involved in establishing effective BYOD policies, and the best practices for choosing and implementing mobile device management – efforts designed to control costs and mitigate risks while still empowering users to successfully work anywhere, anytime on the devices they choose. | |||
| 11:00 am - 11:45 am | How You Can Achieve BYOD Without Compromise Mike Nielsen, Senior Director, Cisco As smartphones become smarter, tablets become the norm, and wireless Internet access becomes ubiquitous, the practice of BYOD is gaining traction. Companies big and small across many different industries are turning to these technologies to create innovative new business offerings to attract customers and enable greater flexibility and productivity in the workforce. These innovations used to come with compromise, often forcing IT to relinquish control or loosen security standards. But today, new wireless technologies enable IT to truly embrace BYOD without compromise. Join us for this session as we explore mobility and security advancements that will dramatically shape the enterprise and drive further growth and innovation. | |||

Don’t miss this revealing discussion chock full of inside stories and critical tips. | |||

| 1:30 pm - 2:15 pm | Enterprise Mobility: Five Best Practices for a Successful Mission Cimarron Buser, VP Business Development, Apperian With as many as three-quarters of employees now bringing their personal devices to work, the question companies are asking is no longer if they should support BYOD, but how. Apperian has helped many of the world’s largest corporations manage the full lifecycle of mobile apps securely, and we’ve established key strategies designed to answer that question. Join us in this session where we’ll share five best practices to follow and key steps to take to move your company’s mobility strategy forward. | |||
| 2:15 pm - 2:45 pm | Best Practices with MDM in a BYOD World Tim Williams, Director of Product Management, Absolute Software When organizations choose client management tools for desktops and laptops, they don't typically need to re-evaluate them for three or four years. So why is it that the MDM solution you chose six months ago already seems outdated? Is it even possible to choose a tool that can keep up with all the changes? Join us for this session as we explore best practices in this fast-moving area. | Embracing BYOD in the Enterprise Charles Gonzales, Sr. Sales Engineer, Novell More than ever, employees are using their personally-owned devices and computers to get work done at home, on the road and even in the office. And for good reason--employees report being more productive and satisfied when they can work on their own devices. However, IT departments and CIOs report being more concerned about security threats and the increased management burden these devices often bring. Attend this session to learn how, with the right tools and policies, your organization can start down the path to embracing BYOD. You'll also walk away with prudent steps you can take to balance productivity with security while minimizing IT burden. | ||

So when the department began assessing enterprise mobility, the primary requirement was that any technology adopted in a BYOD initiative had to be a business enabler and positively impact productivity. To prepare, the department developed an articulate plan to scope the issue, align resources, develop policy and execute in a way that remains flexible to future demands. Learn how they are doing it in this session, and hear how they integrated key tools and services that underscored the effort. | |||
