BYO Hardware at SunCorp

To quote:

“In what could prove to be a watershed moment for corporate Australia, financial services firm Suncorp will let thousands of employees use their personal computers, including Apple iPads, at work."

In case it’s not obvious, the approach taken means that the devices people choose to use will just be thin clients accessing Citrix virtualised applications and web based internal apps and I think it’s fair to assume that people will need to ensure anti-virus and firewalls are running on their devices where appropriate.

I for one think this is a great move and I hope more large enterprises follow suit.  The more places I can use my own hardware and the fewer places where I have to use horrible desktops, with awful keyboards and crappy screens the better.
