Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy is a large enterprise security debate. As employees embrace innovative tablets and smartphones that allow them to work from any location, BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) is causing concern for many enterprises.

Just last week I blogged on the rise of the virtual office and the importance of apps to enable the workforce to have the same productivity tools while on the go that they’d have access to from the desktop.  I hadn’t planned to write on mobility again so soon, but, having just read Matt Hamblen’s article at Computerworld, “Chief mobile officer:  A job title now timely?”  it seems equally timely to continue the discussion. 

In his article Matt quotes a Forrester analyst, Ted Schadler, who said "Mobile is one of those things that bites you from behind if you aren't paying attention."  He went on to reference the Forrester report:

Love means never having to say you're sorry. For CFOs that's especially true when mistakes like overpayments, duplicate payments and erroneous payments can cost millions of dollars. They say money can't buy you love, but in honor of Valentine's Day, HP shot its Cupid's arrow to ensure CFO's find love with their Procure-to-Payment (P2P) processes again.
