How Mobiso Is Part of a Smarter Wireless Management Strategy

Mobility for enterprises is now more than ever not just a trending topic, but an upgrade that has the ability to provide an important competitive advantage. Today’s enterprises look at mobility as a strategic advantage for their business and are looking at applications and tools for their mobile workforce to enhance their productivity, control costs, and overall, improve business operations. Certainly, when thinking mobility wireless technology becomes impossible to ignore. Wireless devices are essential for business. They support emerging virtual business models where a laptop and Blackberry can represent the entire business infrastructure. But along with the benefits of mobility and handheld technology, so come costs, problems, and risks. Enterprises large and small have encountered the following issues: • Rising costs of managing personal and corporate liability plans • Need to separate personal and business calls • The ability to make business calls safely • Costs of providing communications services to the mobile • Productivity of mobile people • Accurate directories and numbers for mobile people • Company information on handheld devices • Loss of control over customer relationships • Future risks of repetitive stress injuries

How can Mobiso help you avoid some of the most encountered problems in enterprise mobility? Mobiso, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is a combination of handheld software and cloud-based services that combine to deliver two key capabilities to enterprise wireless users. First, and transparent to mobile users, software collects usage details and automates the expensing of business use saving much time and costs on the part of both the users and their IT and financial organizations in accurately tracking and expensing wireless expense. Lyrix worked with Ernst & Young, one of the largest personal liability organizations in the world, in delivering cloud services to mobile pursuit teams that make them more productive through both enhanced communications tools but also through the relief of reduced expense accounting each month. As a result, they were more productive and ever-focused on generating revenues. The second value enhances the mobile experience beyond the accounting of expenses. Mobiso is an advanced, cloud-based address book, unifying the various sources of contact information so that mobile teams are relieved of managing, updating, and navigating increasingly large and volatile contact lists. So the benefit to the mobile worker is twofold, relief in monthly accounting and freedom of choice in wireless plans while also gaining the productivity gains of an advanced, cloud-based addressbook that speeds connections to people and groups on the move.

Virtualization Energizes Cal State University

John Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years.

Featured How-To Note

Storage Virtualization Design and Deployment

A main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center.
