哪些移动设备应在工作场所取代Blackberrys？

Blackberry has fallen out of favour with consumers and the once popular devices and platform have failed to keep up with technological advances in the mobile device arena in recent years, resulting in a huge decline in the company’s stock price and multiple changes of CEO in the past several years, with each failing to turn around the company’s dire fortunes. With new devices failing to gain any momentum, Blackberry’s last hopes lie in the corporate market where a number of large organisations still rely on Blackberry Enterprise Server and Blackberry handsets to deliver a mobile infrastructure to colleagues so that they are able to work and access their email and calendar services remotely.

黑莓手机在消费者中已不受欢迎，并且近来曾经流行的设备和平台未能跟上移动设备领域的技术进步，导致该公司的股价大幅下跌以及过去的CEO多次变动几年，每一次都未能扭转公司的巨额财富。 由于新设备无法获得动力，黑莓的最后希望落在了企业市场上，许多大型组织仍然依靠黑莓企业服务器和黑莓手机向同事提供移动基础架构，从而使他们能够工作和访问电子邮件和日历服务远程。

Android devices

Android设备

As far as market share goes, Android devices have the majority stake. The Android operating system is produced by Google and is available on a number of devices from different manufacturers, with some running their own modified versions of the Android OS. This means that there is a nice selection of handsets to choose from, each with differing specifications and price points. There are a wide ranges of Android phones and tablets available from popular manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung, although Google also produces the Nexus devices.

就市场份额而言，Android设备拥有多数股份。 Android操作系统由Google生产，可在不同制造商的许多设备上使用，其中一些运行自己的Android OS修改版。 这意味着有很多不错的手机可供选择，每种手机都有不同的规格和价格点。 尽管Google也生产Nexus设备，但流行的制造商(如Sony和Samsung)可提供多种Android手机和平板电脑。

The problem with providing Android devices to colleagues is that because it is an operating system being used by many different manufacturers, the result is a very segregated market with which manufacturers have interpreted the needs of consumers independently to produce a range of devices, each of which are very individual. At the same time manufacturers have also applied their own look to the operating system in some cases, resulting in a very different user experience between devices. This means that for corporates, selecting one device and sticking to it can be an issue when new devices are constantly entering the market; as a result, providing support could become an issue as IT support would need to be retrained on a regular basis so that they have the necessary skills to support the mobile device infrastructure.

向同事提供Android设备的问题在于，由于它是许多不同制造商使用的操作系统，因此导致市场非常隔离，制造商利用该市场独立地解释了消费者生产一系列设备的需求。很有个性 同时，在某些情况下，制造商还将自己的外观应用于操作系统，从而导致设备之间的用户体验大不相同。 这意味着对于公司而言，当新设备不断进入市场时，选择一种设备并坚持使用是一个问题。 结果，提供支持可能成为一个问题，因为需要定期对IT支持进行培训，以便他们具有支持移动设备基础结构的必要技能。

iOS devices

iOS设备

Though the device market for iOS is effectively nil by being limited to the iPhone and iPad, Apple devices still prove to be a popular choice in the workplace due to the relatively simplicity and intuition that the platform offers. iOS also offers direct contact, calendar and mail syncing with most major business platforms such as Exchange and Google Apps.

尽管仅限于iPhone和iPad，但iOS设备市场实际上是零，但由于平台提供的相对简单和直观，Apple设备仍然被证明是工作场所中的流行选择。 iOS还提供与大多数主要业务平台(例如Exchange和Google Apps)的直接联系，日历和邮件同步。

If corporates were to continue to provide colleagues with a device for business use then this would likely be an iPhone because it guarantees uniformity across the board so that if one device fails, it can be easily replaced with a like for like device. It also makes it easier for IT teams to provide support because this way they only need to familiarise themselves with one types of device and one OS, whereas the Android device and OS market is incredibly segregated with each manufacturer providing their own device designs and interpretations of the OS design.

如果公司要继续向同事提供用于商业用途的设备，则可能是iPhone，因为它可以确保整个设备的一致性，因此如果一个设备出现故障，则可以很容易地用同类设备替换。 这也使IT团队更容易提供支持，因为这种方式他们只需要熟悉一种类型的设备和一个操作系统，而Android设备和OS市场却难以置信地被每个制造商提供各自的设备设计和解释的隔离。操作系统设计。

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

BYOD(自带设备)

Some IT departments are now electing to no longer provide colleagues with business assigned mobile devices and are instead operating a ‘bring your own device’ policy with which colleagues are able to purchase a device of their choice and connect to their corporate accounts through this. However, such policies are only normally put in place with the key consideration of security and more often than not a security audit of a device is required before it can be used.

现在，一些IT部门选择不再为同事提供业务分配的移动设备，而是采用“自带设备”策略，使同事能够购买自己选择的设备并通过此连接到公司帐户。 但是，通常仅在安全性的关键考虑因素的情况下制定此类策略，并且在使用设备之前，通常不需要对设备进行安全审核。

Introducing a BYOD scheme is one way in which you can improve employee motivation because it provides them with a greater sense of control over their working conditions and means that they can choose a device that they feel comfortable with using. It can also annoy some people having to constantly carry two devices round – one personal, one for work – and so by having a single device for both purposes, it simplifies things somewhat.

引入BYOD方案是改善员工积极性的一种方法，因为它可以使他们更好地控制自己的工作条件，并意味着他们可以选择自己喜欢使用的设备。 它也可能使某些人不得不经常携带两台设备而烦恼–一个人，一个用于工作–因此，通过将一个设备同时用于两个目的，它在某种程度上简化了事情。

My conclusion with this would be implementing a ‘bring your own device’ policy can benefit businesses three-fold. Firstly, for the most part it would remove the need for the IT department to offer support because colleagues will likely choose a device that they are already using or are familiar with. Secondly, there’s no longer a need to bulk buy expensive mobile devices. And thirdly, the related expenses disappear, though it would be recommended to provide colleagues with a contribution towards the cost of their price plans and any initial outlay required for their chosen device, all within reason obviously.

我的结论是，实施“自带设备”策略可以使企业受益三倍。 首先，在大多数情况下，这将消除IT部门提供支持的需要，因为同事可能会选择他们已经在使用或熟悉的设备。 其次，不再需要大量购买昂贵的移动设备。 第三，相关费用消失了，尽管建议您为同事提供价格计划成本以及所选设备所需的任何初始支出的费用，这显然是在合理范围内的。
