Embracing the Android Opportunity
> 2011 is the year businesses first confronted the mobile device challenge which will only progress the concern in 2012.
> Users are bringing their own devices into the enterprise Androids and iPhones have increased market share,
and have surpassed the end user capabilities of the traditional Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices.
> Amazingly enough, the business does benefit from this! Cost savings for companies from employee owned
devices with personal voice/data plans. Studies have shown employees work 10-20% more
night and weekend hours.
