Actually, make that I am so bad at all sports. Ask my step father who has a four handicap at golf to hear how well I play that game! (Actually, don’t… it’s embarrassing).

So I started a Ping Pong match with my friends at Analystik and right now they are serving up ACES, if only because I have not had the time to make a proper return. Well I am back baby! Time for me to get back in the game!

Analystik’s second post in our ping pong match is here. Voici la traduction en Anglais. I hate to do this, but I actually have to agree with the majority of this post. The key to enterprise mobility is a combination of three things:

1. IT Service Management
2. Rigorous criteria for solution selection
3. Enterprise mobility management

So I am publishing a piece soon for Strategy Analytics on this topic, but the gist of it is that a proper enterprise mobility management strategy has to include the following:

• Procurement strategies
• Mobile device management
• Mobile application management
• Mobile service management
• Mobile security management
• Wireless expense management
• End-user support services

My friends at Analystik have some very good points, especially when they say « train, maximize, regulate, integrate and measure. » I say they need an extra piece upfront that looks at a change management plan based upon the principles of IT Service Management.
