We’ve been discussing the BYOD trend since we launched this blog last year, and are very excited about the Webinar we’re hosting tomorrow – “Turning the BYOD Problem into the BYOD Opportunity with Matrix42 Mobile Device Management.”

BYOD is impacting organizations everywhere, and it’s a trend that shows no sign of lessening, especially as smartphones and tablets continue to gain in popularity. Today’s worker wants to work on his own terms, and tomorrow’s worker no doubt will want the same – in fact, he’ll probably have even more workstyle demands.

I’ve seen organizations first-hand struggle with the proliferation of employee-owned devices in the enterprise, but I’ve also seen organizations take advantage of this great opportunity to grant users the freedom they crave, and thereby increase overall productivity.

Feel that warmth in the air – we’re excited to bring you the first news roundup of the spring season!  There were a few really interesting articles this week we’d like to share with you, so let’s dive in.

Happy Friday, everyone! I don’t know about the rest of you, but we at Matrix42 had a very busy week. Why, you ask? Well in case you missed it, we were named a Visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Client Management Tools and we announced SP2 of Empirum V14 at CeBIT this week. Pretty exciting stuff, if you ask me. Besides our own news, we’d like to direct your attention to other topics of interest from the tech world this week.

When the word “visionary” is used today, it often describes a landmark technology that can change our lives, or the people who had the foresight and courage to disrupt the status quo with such a landmark technology, e.g. Steve Jobs.
