#152 How tablet adoption is increasing in the enterprise



Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) tablet support has yet to take off within the enterprise sector as a whole. IT leaders recently reported that tablet support (in terms of company reimbursement or subsidies) ranks lower than mobile or laptop support. IT leaders also reported that email, teleconferencing, and file sharing were the most common tablet applications promoted. This indicates a relative lack of knowledge of tablet app relevancy for productivity or growth gains.
However, the financial services sector has a BYOD tablet adoption of nearly 50 percent, several times the adoption rate of the next closest industry. Employees in the financial services industry see great value from tablets due to the nature of their face-to-face work. This sector is focused on making tablets a viable workspace for completing tasks faster and with greater visual performance for client presentations. Other sectors that are client-focused, such as health care and the public sector, are also experiencing greater uptake in tablet adoption. Though there are still significant roadblocks, we can expect tablet adoption and support to increase when more targeted enterprise apps are available.
This report will examine:
1.The most common uses of tablets in enterprise
2.Sectors in which tablets have been most widely adopted
3.Adoption roadblocks, such as security and software innovation
4.Drivers for further adoption
