Enterprises Can't Block User Mobile Phone Choices
As most enterprises struggle to get a grip on mobility costs and strategy, users continue to impose their own desires for devices that better integrate their jobs and personal lives, says Zeus Kerravala, Yankee Group analyst. They will use what they find most useful in both settings regardless of any corporate efforts to slow or block adoption.
Enterprises were not able to stop users from bringing consumer messaging and VoIP applications into the office, and mobile devices won't prove any different, despite general IT executive opposition.
According to Yankee's latest research, at least 45 percent of all enterprise workers operate outside of the traditional office setting at least part of the time.
If consumer-driven mobile systems offer workers better performance and more robust applications than the devices endorsed by their employers, they will use them, Kerravala says.
