Consumerization of IT

Consumerization of IT - When employees bring their personal mobile devices to work and use them to share files or data inside and outside the office, it is difficult for IT to maintain visibility and control. According to Gartner, the “consumerization of IT” will be the most significant trend affecting IT during the next ten years.

Why is this happening now? Consumerization of IT is here to stay due to simple, accessible, and pervasive technology. It frees people to work anytime, anywhere.

What can be done? By balancing freedom and control, enterprises can embrace consumerization and unlock the opportunities of a workplace without limits.

Consumerization requires a strategic approach that reduces security risks, financial exposure, and management chaos. This strategy needs to be supported by a solutions infrastructure that helps you:

                            -  regain visibility and control by managing and protecting company and bring your own device (BYOD) liabilities

                            - share corporate data confidently with secure access, backup and file sharing

                            - protect data wherever it goes with context-aware security
