IT has had to struggle with an ever-shifting variety of devices over the last few years. In part, the Bring Your Own Device notion rose because IT simply couldn't keep up with it all. Now, there is a new category about to enter business: wearables --and while you might think this is far fetched, chances are it's going to happen sooner or later. I report from South by Southwest.http://bit.ly/1hggWJf

When you think of consumerization, you probably think it's employee-driven, but that isn't always the case. Sometimes it's driven by a forward thinking CIO --and when you start to change the way you do business, people are often threatened even when the change is clearly for the better.

Nobody wants to give the man (the enterprise), the right to see what's on their phone and wipe it at will if they feel it's been compromised. One way to allevate that is to containerize or partition the corporate data so if the relationship ends or the phone gets lost or stolen, IT simply shuts off access to enterprise data. Your vacation pictures and other personal data remain intact.

I was in Germany last week and I did a little bit of research on BYOD and found German attitudes were distinctly more conservative than in the US -- and Germans were actually anxious to unplug from work when it was over.

While the age of the IT-controlled general-purpose corporate mobile device may be just about over, it doesn't mean that corporate mobile devices don't have at different role to play in the enterprise.
