How do you best deploy tablets in the enterprise? It seems like the answer is “quickly but carefully” based on the TabTimes Tablet Strategy conference I attended in New York City on Friday.

QuickOffice: Tablets Driving “Work Anywhere” Ecosystem

The tablet is driving a “Work Anywhere” system in which mobile devices are connected to the cloud, according to the conference’s keynote speaker Alan Masarek, CEO of QuickOffice. He said that productivity applications on mobile devices only “became real” 24 months ago with the introduction of the iPad. Even then, most people were using their devices mainly for media consumption until the end of last year.

Today, Masarek said, the number of direct enterprise tablet purchases is quite small, but that is expected to change. Indeed, in the next three years, he expects enterprises to account for a third of tablet purchases.

How Enterprises Can Tackle the Bring-Your-Own-Tablet Challenge

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Lane Jesseph Posted in Blog, Mobility Strategy, Tablet Adoption





Until recently, talk about BYOD (bring-your-own-device) policies has centered on managing the juggernaut of employee smartphones in the workplace. But with tablet sales skyrocketing, a new trend is weaving itself into workplace mobility conversations: BYOT (bring-your-own-tablet).

The BYOT concept poses significant challenges to IT departments. Tablet devices are popular workplace productivity tools, especially in enterprise environments. In fact, many newly released tablet devices and software updates (e.g. Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich update, BlackBerry Playbook 2.0 update, and the new iPad) include enterprise-friendly features, making it relatively easy for employees to leverage personal devices for business functions.

So as scores of employees head off to work with an increasingly diverse array of tablet gadgetry, IT departments have to be prepared to manage the full scope of BYOT devices on the market – effectively safeguarding the enterprise environment from malicious applications and the unauthorized use of company data.
