Gartner demands RIM’s workarounds
Gartner, the respected, fairly conservative IT advisory service, is very concerned about a blackberry blackout and demands the proposed workarounds.
Me too. The fire alarm here at the charming Riverside Hotel rang and rang this morning. I not only trundled down 11 flights of stairs with my trusty blackberry, I took my charger along with my cell, laptop and outfit for tomorrow’s speaking engagement for American Document Management. Glad it wasn’t a real fire. Interesting what turns out to be important…
Gartner advises enterprises “not to sign any agreements that could
involve them in the RIM-NTP dispute” and “demand that RIM discloses its workaround plans.”
If RIM deployments are not mission-critical, Gartner said, enterprises could take no action for the moment but rather “assess the potential impact of operation outages of unknown duration.”
“If you read it closely, we’re telling people to sort of take a break here and wait until this case settles within two to three weeks,” Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney told Reuters.
