Sounds great to me. A whole new platform that will need management tools, testing, productivity apps all redesigned. It's like a whole new IT world to spend money and time on. People think IT policy making is like this: Secret IT meeting... "Take away all hardware that's remotely useful, because we don't want to do any more work!"... or alternatively "keep the equipment old and buggy to justify our existence!" /twirls mustache When IT policy making is really like this: IT: "Hey management it would be fun to try out some new cloud/tablet/virtualization/SaaS etc..." Management: "Is the cost greater than $0?" IT: "Well yes for setup, but we could save-" Management: "Denied" And after managment reads this article it's: Management: "Hey IT support tablets now!" IT: "Can we drop support for Laptops?" Management: "No! Of course not!" IT: "Can we hire someone to help now that we'll have three devices for every mobile user? (phone, laptop, tablet)" Management: "Nope! Just work more unpaid overtime." IT: "It will cost some money to build backup/recovery capabilities into these devices." Management: "No budget changes, we're in a spending freeze." IT: "Then you won't be able to read employee email that they send/receive on their iPad then." Management: "NO IPADS ALLOWED!!!!"
