Cloudy with High Probability of Mobility: New Website and Quarterly Launched

BLUE BELL, Pa., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- MaaS360, the Mobility-as-a-Service platform, offered by Fiberlink, has launched a magazine and website focused exclusively on the business and technology of managing a mobile workforce.  MaaS360 Magazine and www.magazine.maas360.com will shine a light on the unique advantages and challenges of supporting and securing a mobile workforce.  Designed and written for decision makers and senior management, as well as Information Technology personnel who support mobile workers, the magazine and website include detailed research and articles by experts in technology, business, and government.

As a forum for new philosophies of managing mobile workers, new tools and techniques to support them, questions and answers from industry leaders on the front lines, emerging trends in cloud computing for the enterprise, and new products for mobile workers, each issue will be a great resource for managing the mobile lifestyle that an increasing number of workers now demand.

The quarterly magazine and website are sponsored by Fiberlink Communications, Inc., the creator of the MaaS360 Mobility-as-a-Service platform.

"A global revolution is changing the nature of work and how it is defined," said Jim Sheward, publisher of MaaS360 Magazine and CEO of Fiberlink.  "The implications for business and IT, in particular, are significant. With unsettling speed, the traditional LAN and the perimeter surrounding it are dissolving. New forces are converging: a new generation of mobile devices, exponential increases in storage capacity, unprecedented challenges created by wireless network speeds and user expectations. They are forcing IT leaders to rewrite the rules for architecting a secure and productive IT community.  This website and magazine will be where those rules are collaboratively rewritten."

Recent articles include: a discussion of why the LAN is dead, how to make a company into a virtual organization, a description of the "mobility blind spot" (and how it can hurt your company), and an examination of the differences in managing Baby Boomers and Generation Y. The issue devoted to small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) discusses how "small and mobile is the new big" and explores the technology that makes it possible.
