Context
*Consumerization
• Trend for technology companies and earlier adopters to bring innovation into the consumer market prior to the business markets.
• Examples: Messaging, Social Networking, Devices, etc…• Resulting in a switch of technology power from the work place
to the home. • As a consequence: employees are now finding that their home
based IT is more capable than that provided in their workplace.
• *David Moschella, Douglas Neal, Piet Opperman, and John Taylor “The ‘Consumerization’ of Information Technology” Leading Edge Forum June 2004
