Majority of enterprises support smartphones
Four out of five companies (80 percent) surveyed by GigaOM Research say they support mobile phones in the workplace. This shows that mobility is a key aspect of today’s workforce, and it is fast becoming as crucial as having a PC. The support of mobile phones by businesses today is a result of both the first wave — or the BlackBerry wave — and the more recent BYOD- based (bring-your-own-device-based) wave resulting from the iPhone.
