Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group recently found that 95 percent of survey respondents work for entities that allow employee-owned devices in some form in the workplace. And most of those devices are mobiles.
In addition, the average number of connected devices per knowledge worker is expected to grow from 2.8 this year to 3.3 by 2014.
Some 84 percent of organisations provide some level of support for employee-owned mobile devices, while 36 percent provide full support for any device, including smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Illustrating the trend toward mobility, 78 percent of white-collar workers in the United States use a mobile device for work, and 65 percent require mobile connectivity to do their jobs.
