White paper

Mobility has become a top priority for IT and business leaders among organizations of all sizes, driven by the increased pressure to improve productivity across a broadening mobile workforce, the desire to become more operationally efficient, and the need to support the proliferation of smartphones and tablets in the workplace. Consulting firm Deloitte predicts that in 2011, more than 25 percent of all tablet computers will be bought by enterprises, and that figure is likely to rise in 2012 and beyond. The surge of the tablet market, coupled with strong growth of smartphone sales means in 2011, for the first time, sales of personal computers will represent less than half of the total computing device market. The reality is that most mobile workers will require both a laptop or a tablet, and a smartphone for the foreseeable future, and IT will need to manage an increasingly diverse mobile device environment for their users.
