By John Britton, Director, Mobility Platform Evangelist for Good Technology — It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the Bring-your-own (BYO) trend is not only a reality in today’s enterprises, but a rising statistic!

To ensure that our members get the content that they want, we avoided heavy marketing language and removed access barriers.This combined approach must be working, because the publically available Dell TechCenter forum averages around 350,000 unique visits and 800,000 views per month. Even though registration isn’t required, there are over 10,500 registered users. As online communities go, that’s significant.

By John Todd, Synaptics — In case you haven’t noticed, the working world is getting a lot more “touchy-feely.” Of course, by that we mean through the major influx of touchscreens into our everyday working environments.For example, recent studies have shown that by 2015 mobile workers will account for more than one-third of the global workforce, accounting for 1.3 billion mobile workers. In addition to that, the typical mobile worker now carries an average of 3.5 devices with them on any given day —  this could be a smartphone, tablet and an Ultrabook™ device for example.

By Patrick Sweeny, Executive Director, Product Management, Dell SonicWALL — In one of our last blogs, we wrote about how social media changes how we live, work and do business. Today, let’s talk about how social media not only changes business, but also how it impacts business — where does it add value and where does it become a possible risk to business performance? While social media offers a myriad of advantages, at Dell we know that it can have a down side if it is not implemented with the proper security in place.
