Tablets Will be Added to Enterprise "Standard" Devices, IDC Predicts

There was a time when PCs were not a staple of enterprise worker "standard issue" productivity gear. Neither were notebook PCs or smart phones. All those products now are staples. And tablets will be next.


A high percent of respondents surveyed by IDC reported they expect tablets will be a second device to the typical  worker's laptop or desktop. 


The notion that tablets would be treated as second devices to laptops and refreshed every 2.5 years will be costly for IT organizations in the long run, IDC says.


IDC estimates it will cost the average large organization an additional one percent of their IT budget every year just to refresh the tablets alone, IDC says.
