In 2010, the iPad led a fundamental shift in how people use technology. I remember the first time I saw it, my thought was “I already have a smartphone, laptop, and desktop, why do I need an iPad?”. That was of course until I used it. That changed everything.
111% increase in iPad sales year over year. , source apple.com iPad sales are staggering, with Apple reporting that “the new iPad” already passed 1 million preorders, and at the time of this writing the wait to purchase is expected to be 2-3 weeks. To date, over 55 million iPads have been sold. In it’s wake, Apple has left HP, Palm, and Blackberry reeling.

Now that Ice Cream Sandwich is available and the enterprise tools are ready, more users might embrace Android tablets. The lead will have to come from consumers, for from a compelling cost differentiator versus the iPad, for example the Amazon Kindle.

Source www.rovio.com One of the things I hear from disgruntled IT admins is that if they purchase devices or allow employees to use them, all they will do is play Angry Birds and chat on Facebook. This argument is like saying I gave my employees a computer and all they do is play solitaire, or I gave them email and all they do is send jokes. It’s a fallacy. If users are having fun and engaged, expect tools to be used in a variety of ways, that’s the point. Users aren’t robots. @ berkun : "An #iPhone today has more computing power than NASA did in 1969.

Look no further than an airplane or a train to see how many people are hard at work using the devices. Having integrated wifi and 3g / 4g makes this mobile reality possible.
It’s often a situation of “it’s easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.” – this often applies to how people bring their own devices into the enterprise. This bottom up approach works for many organizations, and often they are coming in via the C level. The way to drive adoption and ROI is to make the tools not only easy to use, but fun.

“ As for tablets , there simply aren’t any good Windows-based choices, so the iPad is a natural pick. But Windows 8 tablets are on the way, and there will be no need for iPads in the enterprise.” Preston Gralla, Computerworld, 13 Feb 2012 Is a tablet always the best tool for the job? Almost always, no. But it does work as a Swiss army knife as a great tool for a variety of situation. Source- http://firealarmmarketing.com/2010/12/02/buggy-whips-or-branches/
The biggest issue for IT managers when it comes to deploying the iPad, according to Freimark, is ceding control “ IT workers have been trained to want to control systems. There is a limited amount of control you can have on the iPad.” For example, when you connect an iPad to a Microsoft Exchange server account and ActiveSync, an IT manager can remotely wipe the device, enforce passcode policies to add security and turn off the camera. Those important basics, which have been available since the iPad’s debut, help managers sleep easier. If a work-issued iPad full of sensitive data goes missing, the IT department can at least completely erase the thing. Source http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-9700656-help.php

The benefit here is also the biggest drawback, you can work virtually anywhere, at anytime. Customers and employers have a perception that you are always connected which can create social strain. If you do get hit by techno stress from time to time, make sure you take time to unplug at least once a week for a few hours.

Field nurses and company employees were using a paper-based process for its primary account management tool, the multi-page, 3-ply Patient Visit Record form. Information collected is vital to patient medical charts, pharmacists, insurance companies, drug labs and company billing and payroll departments.
Use of this form involved manually collecting data from patients in the field, which triggered an enterprise-wide process of faxing, scanning, e-mailing and physical filing. Completed forms, often up to 50/day, were routed through several stakeholders, including billing and clinical staff. This led to illegible handwriting, lost/confused pages, duplicate versions, redundant tasks and the need to excessively verify patient information. Source- patient intake form
