Tablets being a workplace standard

In the last 5 years, tablets have been one of the most growing and innovative technology devices. Tablets have killed the netbook market and are fast transforming the traditional PC and laptop. Consumers now are choosing tablets over laptops because some tablets can offer the same features while costing less money. Tablets are lightweight, portable, fast start up, easy web browsing and for loading presentations. Companies are now requesting tablets to be a workplace standard. Nine in ten IT managers worldwide said tablets are either a part of their workplace or currently being evaluated. The 68% of those in the UK already offer the devices. Android takes the top spot for supplied tablet operating systems in the UK with 69% of organizations supplying android tablets to workers. Tablets allow workers to be more flexible in their line of work. Many people now prefer to use tablets than PCs and smartphones for small task such as shopping. In the UK more than half of technology managers believe tablets have increased employee productivity by 20% through increasing their flexibility. This includes another 59% claiming tablets have fully met the requirements they had expected. There are companies in the US that have an employee’s BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy to allow flexibility in their workplace. Most companies have not started supplying their employees with tablets like the UK. This could be due to the concern of data security. Company’s security can still be hacked through portable devices. As there is a solution to everything, I believe security won’t continue to be an issue for companies to allow employees to BYOD. Tablets are not needed in the workplace but they do make like a little easier when completing task and not having to sit at a desk to do all of your work.
