Mobile Management, Security Still a Challenge for Businesses

The survey revealed a growing chasm between what mobile workers want and what IT departments can secure is causing friction for businesses.

Just 18 percent of organizations are confident that their mobile policies are compliant with corporate policy and government regulation, according to a report from mobile productivity solutions specialist Accellion, and AIIM, a global non-profit organization that provides independent research, education and certification programs to information professionals.

Just more than half (51 percent) of organizations surveyed said they have big doubts about their mobile content management processes, even though nearly two-thirds of respondents have or plan to allow official enterprise content management (ECM access) through mobile devices. Meanwhile, 70 percent of respondents expressed concern and another 20 percent were extremely concerned about mobile file sharing.

The survey indicated the growing chasm between what mobile workers want and what IT departments can secure is causing friction for organizations in all industries. Only 30 percent of organizations have an approved bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy in place, yet 46 percent of respondents reported that information access via mobile is "essential" and another 24 percent cite it as "somewhat important."
