Rachel, thank you for adding some color to the recent Cisco study???interesting and important information at hand.
It???s not surprising that 52% of businesses are adopting the Consumerization of IT, with the mobile market booming more than ever before. On the contrary, it???s also understandable that nearly half are still resisting the growing trend because of security concerns, etc. For those who have hopped on the BYOD bandwagon already, one of IT???s top priorities is helping users access company systems remotely AND securely in ever-changing complex environments.
This is only feasible when enterprise applications users??? access is tested, packaged and deployed across environments and platforms, and updated regularly. With the expansion of cloud and virtualization, it is nearly impossible for IT to take this task on manually and (as the study points out) would undoubtedly divert resources away from more pressing projects. But now, thanks to advanced automation and third-party Application Readiness tools, the enterprise can worry less about preparedness, and evolve more.
