Dealing with BYOC: Bring your own computer

Connected Digest speaks with Thomas H. James of Intel

Many IT organizations are faced with employees looking to bring in their own devices and other consumer solutions for use at work. IT has to come to grips with this trend and determine the right approach for making decisions on if and how they will support these requests from their end users.

To find out more about consumerization, Connected Digest recently interviewed Thomas H. James, program manager of Intel's Dynamic Virtual Client Program, which focuses on emerging compute models for business PCs.

This Issue's Dilemma

Hack! Cough! Wheeze! How do you get coworkers to stay home?

If the swine flu taught us anything, it was to stay home when you're sick or the illness will spread. Thankfully, this flu hasn’t become a pandemic yet. But what if it does? Many coworkers come into work no matter how lousy they feel. I understand because no one wants to lose pay, especially in the days of lowered benefits.

With the threat of the flu still out there, should we ask the boss to talk to a coworker who obviously should have stayed home?

Last Issue's Dilemma

How do you catch a credit thief?

At my team's monthly meeting, we discuss current projects, ideas and future work. Last month, a coworker started talking about a successful project and took all the credit himself! This isn't the first time credit thieving has happened. What's the best way to deal with coworkers and managers who take credit for your work, or should you just hope that karma will balance things out?

 — I want my credit
