iPad adoption accelerating in the enterprise, survey shows
The iPad is about to crash the enterprise's I.T. party, according to a recent survey.
Roughly three-quarters of information technology executives at more than 800 companies expect to deploy the iPad and other iOS devices within the next 12 months, according to a new survey today from BoxTone of Columbia, Md.
BoxTone, which provides managed services for companies that deploy mobile devices to hundreds and thousands of users, surveyed their customer bases on the iPad. Their survey showed that more than a quarter expect to roll-out the iPad "immediately."
Another interesting stat: more than 50 percent of these companies plan to deploy at least one iPad application in the next 12 months.
BoxTone gathered the data during a series of Webinars with Fortune 500 companies, including half of whom were executives from Fortune 100 companies.
Alan Snyder, CEO of BoxTone, said: “The iPad could be part of one of the biggest IT asset expansion and replacement waves of the last two decades. Impressed by its form factor and user experience, companies are just now budgeting for large scale rollouts in 2011, with most organizations viewing the iPad as a high-value application delivery platform."
