Comments on: Are Blackberries derailing your SharePoint deployment? http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2010/10/15/are-blackberries-derailing-your-sharepoint-deployment/ No GeekSpeak on SharePoint 2007 WSS and MOSS Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:33:24 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Sam http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2010/10/15/are-blackberries-derailing-your-sharepoint-deployment/comment-page-1/#comment-107750 Sam Fri, 22 Oct 2010 03:17:00 +0000 http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=10235#comment-107750 I concur. "...some senior managers are obsessive about keeping them close at hand" is very apt for my environment. One question I have, and I hope that someone is going to say that we have been looking in the wrong place, but why can't my Blackberry be configured to use integrated security with Sharepoint? Why do I have to login? I dont have to do this for Exchange. RIM technical support have informed us that the only way around the login is for all Blackberry users to use a generic account that is configured to access Sharepoint. This scenario is obviously far from ideal. Has anyone had any similar experiences? I concur. “…some senior managers are obsessive about keeping them close at hand” is very apt for my environment.

The younger generation is mobile addicted. Companies 5 years from now must adapt to offer tools their new workforce can embrace, understand, and use productively. I'm looking forward to SP2010's mobile features (incl. office web apps) to grow adoption here. All Black Berry devices now come with browsers. It's just a matter of configuration and awareness to build the initial momentum. "Apps" took the consumer market by storm and the enterprise will be next. Lots of potential here!!

The mobile device needs to be thought of even if it's not a part of your architecture at the moment. You can quote me: In 5 years or less, the mobile will be the standard as the desktop shifts to the back-burner. If that doesn't happen, I'll eat my own Blackberry :-D. I couldn’t agree more.
