The Benefits of IT Consumerization for Modern Companies
Communication technology develops quite rapidly especially in the latest few decades because many people are aware that having more and more advanced system to accommodate their communication activities is necessary. It the old days, they feel it was sufficient for them to communicate using telephone. When internet was invented and data could be sent wirelessly, they started to demand a new communication device that allowed them to communicate with one another wirelessly and conveniently. To answer their demand, mobile phones were invented and introduced to them. Not long afterwards, they started demanding the integration between computer and phone. The market answered by the introduction of such smart handheld gadgets as iPhone, iPad, Tablet PC, Smartphone, PDA, and many other devices that enabled them to do both computing and communication activities using them.
What becomes unique in this phenomenon is whenever new technological products are introduced, personal consumers become the initial users of those products before they are adopted by corporations. Those corporations feel the need to adopt those products because those products help their employees work much more efficiently and productively. That’s the reason why there are many companies today that provide their employees with complete independence to use technological products that they get instead of equipping them with old fashioned devices. This strategy is often called consumerization of technology. Through this strategy, a company will not allocate a set of computing devices for each of its employee but it will directly ask its employees about which kinds of devices that the employee prefers to use. The company will then provide its employees with financial support to procure those devices.
IT consumerization benefits a company in a number of ways. First, because all of its employees will ultimately use devices that they favor and are really familiar with, they can work much more enthusiastically and productively. Through consumerization, the company also doesn’t have to carry out exhaustive management for the employees’ infrastructures procurement because the management will be done effectively by its employees.
