[olug] iCloud in the business world

[George De Bruin]

There's always email...  I have yet to see a company that wouldn't allow
sending external emails. :)  If you can email it, it can go anywhere...even
if it takes you 10+ messages to send it. :)

IMO - iCloud isn't going to be any worse to manage than using things like
Google Apps, or GMail.  Sure there are some things that might be easily
blocked, like the streaming services or dropbox style functionality, but
overall I don't see it posing more of a challenge that Android already does.
