Consumerization of the enterprise makes enterprise mobility hot topic at CTIA IT
Fierce Mobile IT
The tables turned at this year’s CTIA IT & Entertainment show. After years of parading mobile content and entertainment players such as MTV Networks and Universal Music, the mobile enterprise was the star of the show–thanks mostly to CTIA’s diligent work in building the enterprise side of the show. The consumerization of the enterprise–thanks in most part to the iPhone–mobile healthcare and machine-to-machine communications were hot topics at the show last week. “You can’t separate the enterprise from the consumer anymore,” declared Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC America, during a session on smartphones. “IT is changing. The days of the IT department buying 5,000 phones are over. There are lots of individual buyers.”
