Boston IT Consultants get ready for this. Previously, employees had little choice of laptops and mobile phones in the workplace. That’s changing today because of a gradual loosening in company policies, employees have far greater say. There’s kind of a “bring your own device” trend going on. It’s kind of an IT department nightmare, if you will.
Here are a few items from the survey that were pretty interesting:
A survey published on Thursday by Forrester Research shed light on the phenomenon by showing, for example, that 48 percent of information workers buy smartphones for work without considering what their I.T. department supports.
“It’s great for information workers, who buy a device based on their individual working style,” said Matt Brown, a vice president and research director at Forrester Research. “It’s a big challenge for I.T. departments.”
Work styles have changed. We’re not only sitting in an office anymore, it’s a mobile world for many workers today. Can you foresee any trouble with this in your business? We’d like to hear from you about this. Let us know what you think.
