Tablets, Laptops and Virtual Desktops: Trends for CIOs to Watch
What will be your primary computing devices over the next three to five years?
The status quo is to outfit the organization with the next generation of desktops or laptops and the latest version of Microsoft Windows or perhaps a Windows Mobile OS. Every year, a larger percentage of user computing devices depreciate and are replaced with one of a few selected system configurations, depending on the organization's financial and support model. Finance divisions will always debate with senior management about the depreciation term, which can force IT support to shorten the duration between upgrades for devices in use across an enterprise.
