The enterprise isall over the iPad. RIM can’t put the genie back in the bottle, no matterhow hard it tries. But what is it about the iPad that appeals to IT departments and employees alike? Why the sudden shocking proliferation?
Forrester’s Ted Schadler looked at how tablets are making their way into the enterprise ina new report, asking more than 200 companies about their experiences with the iPad (primarily) since January 2010. What they found was both surprising and, in some ways, to be expected.
IT LEADS THE CHARGE
