Hello everyone,

I was wondering what methods people are using for managing mobile devices in the BYOD scene, where windows 8.1 tablets are now being used next to iPads and Android tabs...

iOS and android obviously have some excellent and comprehensive management functionality and supporting software such as  MobileIron.  Now that 8.1 is being used more and more how do we integrate these devices into the ecosystem? - Is it a case of using SCCM and intune running next to MobileIron etc?  it seems to very quickly get very expensive when introducing all these additional management platforms.  I believe some MDM providers will have limited 8.1 support in the near future, but application deployment and management still seems to require SCCM and intune!

I would love to hear how peopel are starting to tackle this.

Kind regards, W.
