While IT shops ban Apple's iPhone, "attitudes like these show an utter contempt for the real purpose of IT and a misunderstanding of IT's role in a business," writes Stephen Hultquist, author of our CIO Views blog.
Instead, Hultquist argues, "IT exists to support the business, not to decide what's allowed and what's not. Control isn't the point."
"Forcing users into limitations that they don't want to accept never works, and it gives the illusion of security and compliance where none actually exists."
