- 46. Key Business Decisions… • Can employees use personally-owned devices for their work? – Home computers? – Tablets? – Do we have a choice? • If so, what are your requirements of them? – Security standards – Data retention requirements – Data compliance requirements
- 47. Who is responsible? University responsibility Client responsibility • Establish device standards • Ensure that device is (browsers, mobile functional—can it connect platform/OS, etc.) receiving to services off-campus? full support and communicate to clients. • What data is on the device and is it secure? • Provide configuration information for key • Report loss/theft of the University-provided services device quickly. (email, calendar, etc.) • Support connections to key services
- 48. Moving forward… • Mobile, multiple and personal devices are here to stay. • New services should be designed with personal & mobile devices in mind. • Move to functional requirements and support • In the workplace, don’t confuse workplace behavior with technology. – Establish requirements on a functional level – Security, support and access will be more distributed and less “controlled”
