A survey by Gartner has found that 86 per cent of enterprises plan to deploy media tablets this year.

The company in a release said that respondents came from organisations with 500 or more employees and an in-house data centre in the US, UK, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Russia, India, China and Japan.

“Healthy growth in smart phones and media tablet shipments over the next five years will enable a much higher level of IT consumerisation than is currently possible,’’ said Mr Chae-Gi Lee, Research Director at Gartner.

“Enterprises should recognise this and look to “mobile enable’’ their IT infrastructure for employees to meet the growing demand for mobile device use in the enterprise IT environment.’’
