80% Of CIOs Want To Buy Tablets

Paget Alves, Sprint president of business markets, expects a number of Sprint’s tablet buyers to be business users, noting that 70 to 80 percent of the chief information officers that Sprint talks to are interested in deploying tablets to their employees in some fashion.

“The adoption rate for tablets in the business sector is much, much faster than we expected,” said Alves. Most users are “knowledge workers” searching for a lighter, cheaper alternative to a laptop, particularly for travel. While a company’s entire workforce would likely not receive a tablet, a “meaningful proportion” probably would, said Alves.
