Mobile - Secure, Yes, But Usable Too?
17th July 2013

FreePint's Community of Practice on the challenges of deploying mobile throughout the enterprise couldn’t be more timely. Gartner is predicting that 60% of information workers will be interacting with content using a mobile device by 2015, and Forbes Insights reports that senior executives are increasingly abandoning the traditional PC for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).

Mobile security remains a growing threat, with Juniper reporting that Androids are especially targeted - although the Forbes respondents remain far more concerned about usability.

Does Yammer Now Have More Klout?
11th July 2013

Last week Yammer announced that it was integrating Klout scores within its enterprise social network. Whilst this is just one of a number of new integration points that Yammer has introduced since it was acquired by Microsoft, it's definitely one of the most interesting. On the face of it, displaying users' online influence seems a very sensible move by Yammer. But is displaying Klout scores behind the firewall really such a good idea?

10th July 2013

A new report on mobile news reading habits of consumers in Europe and the US published by Mobile Republic, the producers of the News Republic news app, makes for interesting reading and confirms the inevitable when it comes to news consumption: social media usage and mobile devices have turned us into "news snackers", dipping in and out of news sites several times a day to read bite-sized news updates.
