Another interesting story today from the Wall Street Journal: More companies are putting the Apple i-Pad in their corporate briefcases. (Click here to read the story from today’s WSJ.com.)
Implications: I’m thinking about all the times I’ve heard and IT specialist say something like, “We’re a PC organization,” referring to some obtuse idea that Apple products might not be compatible with the organization.
These days, it appears that companies are looking more at what might be cost-efficient and effective, as opposed to comfortable for the IT department. (I’m not suggesting that favors Apple, only that it might put the new Apple products on a bit more equal footing with other technology options.) After all, the evolution of smart phones has blurred the lines of what we expect from technology tools. Today, the question is more than just “to PC or not to PC.” We look at each component in the technology chain for what application it accomplishes, and what price that achievement comes with.
