Is your tablet enterprise ready?

Can your tablet handle your business?

Whether issued by companies or brought in by workers themselves, off-the-shelf tablet computers intended for consumer use have found their way into the enterprise in recent years.

But as new research from IDG Market Pulse indicates, organisations are “starting to bump up against challenges” around deployment and support of these devices, as they face the reality that popular consumer-grade models are hamstrung by limited functionality and are not robust enough to withstand rigorous enterprise use.

So what are the factors to determine if your tablet is enterprise ready?

According to the research, sponsored by Panasonic, some of the top considerations cited by respondents are device security, integration with existing infrastructure and business systems, Windows support, device durability and overall support and maintenance of the tablet.
