Wow! I'm totally surprised by how much discussion my possible
contributions (because they would be on work time) have launched!
Is anyone in a position to discuss this with representatives of my
employer? Just a discussion of discovery for both sides...
Thanks!

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
