What's Good for the Goose...Viacom's CIO Champions Mobility Inside and Outside the Company
Viacom's CIO Dave Kline has mobility on his mind, as he talks with Enterprise Mobile Hub's Steve Kovsky at the recent CIO 100 event in California. The media giant's mobile initiatives are split into two areas, Kline says: Rolling BYOD out to internal customers to maximize productivity, and working closely with carriers to make sure external customers get the best possible mobile content experience.
There's lessons to be learned from Viacom's customer-facing/mobile content initiatives when connecting with the internal BYOD/enterprise initiatives. All too often, even the most flexible and secure BYOD program overlooks the content and applications business users will be asking. Consumerization of IT really is: Personal commuting preference and experience + Enterprise-class applications.
