2012 Global Research
In January 2012, Avanade released the results of a survey of 600+ business and IT leaders in 17 countries that challenges common myths about factors driving the Consumerization of IT. The study, Dispelling 6 Myths of Consumerization of IT, indicates a fast-moving shift in the use of consumer technologies in the workplace and a surprising level of investment in this trend by IT.

Mobile apps, social services and tablets are storming the IT firewall

The user-driven workplace is spreading quickly and across business organizations of all types. Many analyst firms have predicted sales of smartphones to skyrocket, some suggesting well over 400 million in sales in 2011. Depending on the analyst firm prediction, estimates of sales of tablet computers could reach as high as 70 million next year.

Consumerization is motivating corporate IT to alter many of their policies and selectively loosen controls of sourcing and management over devices and applications. This disruptive shift is forcing enterprise IT to rethink how they will deliver services to employees, integrate with existing systems and ensure security and compliance.
