C-Change: The Impact of Consumerization of IT

Enterprise 2.0  |  Mobile

Sometimes, buzzwords really ARE changing the world. The phrase “consumerization of IT” refers to the ubiquitous reality that the technology available OUTSIDE the enterprise is perceived as being more sophisticated, more user-friendly, delivered in a quicker time frame, and lower-cost than the technology INSIDE of the enterprise. 

Futurist Thornton May, in collaboration with AIIM's Executive Leadership Council, suggests that the consumerization phenomenon should not be micromanaged as an administrative hassle associated with controlling/slowing the explosion of devices emanating from the vast, fast and global consumer electronics industry. Nor is consumerization merely a question of determining policies for allowing/denying access to an exponentially growing SOMOCLO (social, local, mobile, cloud) application set.

We've put together a SlideShare presentation to help you assess how prepared your organization is for the consumerization wave. Enjoy!
