1) A survey of over 300 IT professionals found that while desktops are still commonly used, mobile device usage is growing. Currently 63% of employees primarily use desktops and 30% use laptops, but tablet and smartphone usage is increasing.
2) Mobile devices are being used alongside desktops in most organizations, but some organizations are replacing some or most desktops with mobile devices. Tablets are seen as most likely to replace desktops in the future if they can handle tasks currently requiring desktop power.
3) Biggest challenges in supporting multiple device types are software/app compatibility, device configuration, and security compliance. Screen size is also seen as limiting smartphone primary usage potential currently.

In the past few years, information technology has become increasingly personal and social and has made its presence very much felt. The emergence of wearable computing and other forms of empathic ‘things’ seems a logical further step: even more intimate, more human-oriented, and ubiquitous. There are more and more devices that count our steps, take our blood pressure or measure the indoor temperature, track our location or conversations.
We are witnessing a computer boom in terms of kinds, shapes and sizes – around, on or inside the body – that behave increasingly smart and link up more and more intuitively with man’s extremely personal and natural interface.
In the next decade Personal Computing will become really personal: inside, on and around the person with attention for the context of the individual. In this study we explore this development and present seven manifestations that can define the impact on business, such as the ‘quantified employee’ and the ‘body as the new password’

A talk about ux, trust and privacy - and how these are becoming increasing important in human-computer interaction. This connection we have with our smart-everythings, it is no longer merely about exchanging data back and forth. Our connection with computers now does revolve around values which we normally find in human-to-human relationships: understanding and trust.
We humans expect that these machines do the computing effort to understand us; smart personalisation.We also expect that we can trust these machines – and the companies behind them - to keep what they learn about us to themselves. We expect them to respect our privacy. Our security.
And as designers, we need to deliver great, personal experiences. We also need to deliver trustworthy products. We owe it to both our users and the people who hire us to actively think about privacy, and to implement privacy in the flows and designs we deliver.
Horizon Scan: ICT and the Future of RetailEricsson
A research report from Ericsson and Imperial College London examines how near-ubiquitous access to ICT and information is transforming relationships between consumers and retailers.
The pace and scale of change across high-tech manufacturing is a once-in-a-century transformation. The resulting convergence and disruption—affecting every corner of the manufacturing sector—is profoundly, permanently altering the industrial landscape. The old rules are changing: New competitors are emerging, consumer expectations are shifting, and market share is up for grabs.
Digital Influence is one of the hottest trends in social media, yet is largely misunderstood. "The Rise of Digital Influence," the new report by Altimeter Group Principal Analyst Brian Solis, is a 'how-to' guide for businesses to spark desirable effects and outcomes through social media influence. The report helps companies understand how influence spreads, and includes case studies in which brands partnered with vendors to recruit connected consumers for digital influence campaigns. Brian evaluates the offerings of 14 Influence vendors, organizing them by Reach, Resonance, and Relevance: the Three Pillars that make up the foundation for Digital Influence as defined in the report. Also included are an Influence Framework and an Influence Action Plan to help brands identify connected consumers and to define and measure strategic digital influence initiatives.
Me Data - The Rising Opportunity for Self Optimization Apps Beyond
A new research study from creative digital agency Beyond, shows that the lack of concern over the privacy of Me Data - open, freely available, personal data - and the popularity of personal tracking apps is leading to a demand in self-optimization services like Google Now. These products and services will break out of the niches created by personal tracking apps, instead offering overall lifestyle self-optimization services based on several different strands of Me Data.

15 Stats Every B2B Marketer Should Know About Mobile RetentionKyle Lacy
There’s no denying we live in an increasingly mobile world. Until recently, however, stats around mobile app performance and how it relates to traditional metrics gauging software growth have been limited.
Here at OpenView, we’ve invested first-hand in research monitoring not only the rapid migration to mobile, but also the emergence of mobile-first B2B SaaS companies (see our Mobile SaaS Metrics report for more details).

6 ways Samsung’s Interactive Display powered by Android changes the classroomSamsung Business USA
The Samsung Interactive Display provides improved collaboration and creates a positive learning environment for students and teachers in the classroom.
With Galaxy S23, business leaders and their teams can work flexibly, efficiently, and collaboratively in ways that blaze a new trail to mobile productivity. Here are the top 10 reasons to upgrade you and your team to the Galaxy S23 series.
Ever since the first Samsung Galaxy Note launched back in 2011, mobile professionals have been using the S Pen to write, annotate, and highlight their way through the workday. The advanced stylus allows you to get more done on your phone — making the device great not just for content consumption but also for creating and doing.
Designed to feel like a real pen (complete with a subtle pencil-on-paper sound as you write), the S Pen is fantastic for note taking, drawing, and navigating your phone. You can even use the S Pen as a remote for controlling your camera with gestures, for playing music, and media and for flipping through presentation slides.
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 is an ultra-light PC that fuels productivity with an Intel Evo processor and a long-lasting, fast-charging battery. It is optimized for video calls and offers the easiest file transfer ever using Quick Share.
8 ways ViewFinity monitors set the standard for professionalsSamsung Business USA
To work accurately and efficiently, visual creatives need a wide spectrum of vivid colors on a large screen with reliable connectivity and anti-glare technology.
Heavy-duty work demands rugged devices. But until recently, rugged devices have come with a lot of sacrifices: Rugged devices were more expensive, less powerful and bulkier than the sleek consumer smartphones on the market.
That’s changing with Samsung’s introduction of a new kind of rugged mobile devices. Combining the slim design and powerful feature set of its consumer smartphones with a durable build engineered to be field-ready, Samsung’s Galaxy XCover6 Pro gets more done without sacrifice.
5 Ways Smart Hospital Rooms Can Improve The Patient ExperienceSamsung Business USA

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro is an ultra-light PC that fuels productivity with an Intel Evo processor and a long-lasting, fast-charging battery. It is optimized for video calls and offers the easiest file transfer ever using Quick Share.
In early 2022, Oxford Economics surveyed 500 executives and 1,000 employees to better understand the different ways SMBs support their workforces with smartphones. The data reveals that the cost and benefit relationship in smartphone strategies is greatly misunderstood.
Ever since the first Samsung Galaxy Note launched back in 2011, mobile professionals have been using the S Pen to write, annotate and highlight their way through the workday. The advanced stylus allows you to get more done on your phone — making the device great not just for content consumption but also for creating and doing.

You can even use the S Pen as a remote for controlling your camera with gestures, for playing music and media and for flipping through presentation slides.
The idea of using a tablet for mobile work is not a new one. For workers lugging heavy laptop bags and businesses seeking to provide employees with flexible technology for working remotely, sleek powerful tablets hold a lot of appeal. But for a tablet to be your go-to device for important parts of your workday, it has to tick a lot of boxes.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S8, S8+ and S8 Ultra do just that, combining PC-like performance with smart multitasking features that make for a powerful productivity tool, whether you are on the go or at a desk connecting to a monitor.
The way we work has changed — and the technology needed to stay ahead of the curve is evolving in turn. To that end, the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra combines the best of both worlds from Samsung’s S and Note series, to help effectively power you and your team forward in the new, hybrid world of work.
With Galaxy S22 Ultra, business leaders and their teams can work flexibly, efficiently and collaboratively in ways that blaze a new trail to mobile productivity. Here are the top 10 reasons to upgrade you and your team to Galaxy S22 Ultra.

You can enhance your patient care with these nine best practices for mobile healthcare solutions.
6 ways Samsung Kiosk gives retailers an all-in-one self-service solutionSamsung Business USA
Self-service retail solutions have been gaining popularity for years, and COVID-19 rapidly accelerated the widespread adoption of contactless technology. Now, consumers expect self-service options everywhere they shop — from checking out at the grocery store to placing an order at a furniture outlet.
According to the 2021 State of Self-Checkout Experiences report from Retail Today, 60 percent of the 1,000 respondents said they opt for a self-service kiosk rather than a cashier whenever possible. The demand for convenience and increased safety isn't likely to wane, so retailers must find ways to meet this demand, or risk losing customers to competing brands that do offer self-service.
From K-12 to higher education, bustling school campuses have a reliable need for digital displays — not only to teach and engage but to inform, guide, promote and celebrate.
Flat-panel monitors and interactive displays are now common in classrooms, and they're increasingly popular across campuses as attention-grabbing communication tools to inform educators, administrators, students and parents alike. With their ability to support a hybrid learning environment, these displays are even more important in today's classrooms, which incorporate both in-person and remote learning.

The State of the
Tech Kingdom
The citizens of TechVille are predicting the
dawn of a new workday: “Desktops are obsolete.”
“Tablets will replace laptops.” “You can do real
work on smartphones.” Truth, exaggeration, or
wishful thinking? Spiceworks got to the heart of
the matter by asking IT pros what’s really going
on in the workplace.
A new era is upon us, but will mobile truly
reign supreme? Who’s using which technologies
for what? What are the biggest obstacles in
managing such a diverse collection of form
factors and platforms? The masses have
spoken – learn what IT pros envision for the
future of the workstation…

SURVEY INFO
We asked over 300 IT pros in the U.S. to tell us
how the rising number of laptops, tablets, and
smartphones in the workplace is impacting the
way work gets done. They let us know which
devices their users have, how they’re being used,
and how they expect these trends to
shift in the future.
IT pros also cited some challenges that keep them
from using mobile devices for everything – things
like cost, screen size, and OS compatibility. And
they gave us a closer look at the opportunities
and benefits they think mobile devices will bring
to their organizations. The highlights:
1. The desktop kingdom, while still notable,
is showing signs of decline. Desktops are
often still the primary device for people
who work from a dedicated workspace or
who rely on lots of computing power to
get that work done. But desktop usage is
not expanding for most organizations.
2. What IS growing is the mobile workforce, as
evidenced by the escalating number and
variety of devices people use at work. Many
rely on tablets and smartphones in addition
to desktops – and some have replaced their
desktops entirely. IT pros predict the mobile
empire will continue to spread its reach.
3. The device most likely to replace desktops in
the future? Tablets. But IT pros have some
caveats before they’re willing to look at
tablets as true desktop successors.
The consensus: Employees use devices in different
combinations based on the work they do within
their organizations. They also said that device use
varies by the type of apps used. And while some
say their organizations already take advantage of
the flexibility offered by tablets and smartphones,
a full passing of the torch to mobile devices is still
in progress.
Where’s your organization on the mobile device
spectrum? Do you still rely on desktops for
most of the heavy lifting (as you’re looking
for ways to integrate mobile devices)? Or do
you have an increasingly mobile workforce
that’s driving the need to replace desktops
entirely? How do the features and functionality
of mobile devices fit with the applications you
use and the larger demands of your business?
Read on for a closer look at how and why U.S.
IT pros are rolling out the red carpet for mobile
devices in their organizations.

Desktop Dynasty: A
Kingdom in Decline
When it comes to devices in the workplace,
the landscape can quickly turn into a chaotic
tech arena. The vast majority of IT pros say
their organizations have a company-issued
device policy, but more than half also allow
employees to bring their own devices to work.
Let the mayhem commence! IT pros say that
on average, 63% of employees use desktops
as their primary workhorse, while 30% pri-
marily use laptops – but just 5% primarily
use tablets or smartphones.

Device Policies Supported by Organizations
With the crowd roaring for mobile, high desktop
usage may seem surprising. But the findings
suggest those who primarily rely on desktops
work in dedicated workspaces and in roles like
accounting, finance, HR, and customer support.
Of the organizations surveyed, almost 90% report
that their accounting and finance teams use desk-
tops, but only 39% report these same teams
having laptops.
Less than a third of these number crunchers
reportedly use smartphones for work tasks,
and only 7% use tablets. Other heavy desktop
users are those who need access to high-per-
formance computing to do their work, like IT.
This makes sense given the amount of time these
specific roles spend crunching data with spe-
cialized software that demands lots of screen
real estate and high computing performance.
However, the fact that you can now dock both
laptops and tablets for a more desktop-like
experience – including multiple monitors
and full-sized keyboards – should continue to
narrow the gap between desktop and mobile
devices. In other words, the tried and true
chariot is getting smaller… and motorized.

Despite the continued need for specific types
of users, desktop use is stagnant. Fifty-five
percent of IT pros say their company’s desktop
usage has plateaued over the last three years,
while 25% say they’re relying on them less
and less.
And while they expect to keep using desktops
in the near future, most plan to increase their
use of mobile devices.

The Uprising of the
Mobile Workforce
All hail the new mobile regime… well,
sort of. The biggest driver behind the use
of mobile devices: More workers than ever
now reach for the convenience of tablets
and smartphones to stay productive and
connected on the go.
While 66% of organizations currently use
desktops alongside laptops, tablets, and
smartphones, roughly a third are replacing
at least some desktops with mobile devices.
In that sense, the mobile phenomenon really
does signal the dawn of a new age.

Highly mobile employees – from IT pros and
executives to sales teams and field service staff
– may have desktops, but also rely on laptops.
They make heavy use of smartphones and tab-
lets as well. In fact, more IT pros have laptops
(88%) than desktops (83%)… and many also use
smartphones (73%) and tablets (62%) for work.
Mobile usage is also on the rise across the rest
of the organization, particularly when it comes
to tablets.
In the last three years, 73% of organizations
have seen an increase in tablet usage, 66%
have increased smart phone use, and 58%
have increased use of laptops.
Now that we’ve seen who is using mobile
devices in the workplace, let’s take a closer
look at why they’re using them – along with
the challenges and benefits managing these
devices present for IT pro gladiators.

As the tech civilization grows (and moves), so does the challenge of supporting a wider vari-
ety of form factors and platforms in the workplace. Some software/app workflows are easy to
conduct on mobile and other devices already in use in the organization, but others…less so.

More than half of IT pros surveyed believe mobile
devices will eventually conquer antiquated desk-
tops – but those who disagree cite issues such as
cost, usability, screen size, and performance.
For instance, when we asked respondents to rate
how easy it is to search the Internet and handle
documents on different devices, almost all of them
found desktops and laptops easy to use for all of
these workflows.
Most found it easy to use tablets for searching the
Internet, viewing documents, completing online
forms, and sharing documents. But some found
tablets difficult to use for document creation,
editing, and storage, and few found it easy to use
smartphones for much beyond online searches
and basic communication.
One thing to note: While storage on mobile devices
might be a drawback today, it may become less of an
issue as cloud storage is more widely adopted.

In fact, 73% of organizations surveyed stated
they’d be unlikely to use a smartphone as a
primary device. Why? Most say they’re too small
– in this case, size does matter (and a tiny screen/
no keyboard is definitely… an issue). Others say
smartphones don’t run the applications and
software they need to do their work.
How do tablets rank? Here, the numbers get
interesting. More than three-quarters of respon-
dents would be likely to consider tablets as a
primary work device – but only IF they packed
enough power to perform critical tasks.
Likelihood of Using Tablets or Smartphones as Primary Devices
But enough about the frustrations – what
about the benefits? IT pros who think mobile
devices are likely to replace desktops offer up
a wide range of reasons including mobility
(naturally), flexibility, convenience, OS support,
cloud and SaaS, docking, enhanced perfor-
mance, and lower price points.
Mobile devices are also expanding their territory
into basic office productivity tasks that used
to be the exclusive realm of desktop royalty.
Employees run word processing, spreadsheet,
and presentation software on laptops and
increasingly on tablets – as well as commu-
nication apps, file sharing, and storage.
They use smartphones largely for communi-
cation (email, calendar, IM, text, VoIP/UC, and
web conferencing) and for sharing and storing
files via applications like Dropbox, Google
Drive, Box, and more.
“It’s all about mobility and flexibi-
lity. People aren’t just working
from their desks anymore, and
they need tools that will allow
them to be productive wherever
they are.”

A new leader has its sights set on the crown. Half of IT pros think mobile devices will com-
pletely overthrow desktops in the future – and most believe tablets will likely triumph (even
over laptops)! But they don’t see big change right around the corner: less than a quarter
expect to see complete desktop replacement within the next five years, while 31% say it
will take 5-10 years, and 29% envision this change ten years or more down the road. In
other words, mobile will carpe diem… eventually.

IT pros also have some caveats to their pre-
dictions – and some fairly strong preferences
about which OS platform they’d want in order
to view tablets as eventual desktop successors.
Nearly half would prefer Windows, 31% would
prefer Google Android, and 20% would prefer
Apple iOS. According to the survey, IT pros look
to Windows for manageability, to Android for
affordability, and to iOS for security.
“We probably need two more gen-
erations of mobile computing
hardware before there is feature/
performance parity with desktops.
Then you’ll need 2+ refresh cycles
to replace legacy desktops.”

If you’ve been wondering exactly how
mobile devices fit into your arena (a.k.a.,
workplace), we hope this report gives you
some useful information to consider. Based
on responses from the IT pros we surveyed,
mobile devices are rising both in demand and
usefulness, and it’s worth it to work through
the challenges of incorporating them into your
IT infrastructure. The reward is the flexibility
and convenience of devices that can be easily
used away from the office to not only check
email and search online, but also to dock on-
site for more intensive tasks.
However your organization uses mobile tech
today, we urge you to continue looking for
ways to match mobile to the way your organi-
zation functions – and vice versa.
As vendors continue to refine and expand
the form factors, compatibility, and power
of laptops, tablets, and smartphones, mobile
devices will thrive and revolutionize the way
employees navigate the workday. Best part:
You’ll be positioned to take advantage of all
the benefits these devices have to offer as
you seamlessly adapt… to the grand new
mobile regime.
Embrace the Age
of Mobility
“We are nearly there now, and I
can only see us going further
