The following is an excerpt from <\/em>an article published on Techcrunch.com<\/em>.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Forrester\u2019s latest report on mobile adoption in the enterprise found that 66% of employees now use two or more devices every day, including desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets. A smaller, but notable 12% percent said they now use tablets at work. That\u2019s still far fewer than the 50% who report only using a desktop, or the 82% who use a desktop alone or alongside other devices.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 55% of organizations stated that supporting a larger number of smartphones was a high or critical priority over the next 12 months, while 52% said the same of supporting tablets like Apple\u2019s iPad.<\/p>\n

A somewhat remarkable 16% of workers said they use four devices at work, but that number may have slightly shifted from earlier this year<\/a>, when 20% said they used \u201cfour or five\u201d devices. Back then, 22% said they used two devices, 18% said three, 20% four or five, and 14% said six or more. In other words, workers using 2 or more devices was at 74% in February, and has now dropped to 66%. Missing in Forrester\u2019s analysis today was whether or not workers switching from PC alone to tablet alone had any impact here, but it\u2019s worth noting that at the time of the last survey, tablet usage was at 7%, and it\u2019s now 12%.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many organizations are now supporting \u201cBYOD\u201d (bring your own device) policies, which, to some extent, accounts for the wide variety and numbers of mobile devices in the workplace. For example, 70% of tablet users got to pick their own, while only 15% of companies issued the tablets directly and 13% had to choose it from a pre-approved list. In terms of smartphones, those numbers were 67%, 15% and 15%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Forrester says that 54% of organizations are now focused on developing a comprehensive policy to support employees bringing their own devices. With the numbers above, though, it seems that there are many more workers picking their own tablets and phones than their organizations with an \u201cofficial\u201d policy.<\/p>\n

\n

Forrester\u2019s research comes from survey data and in this case, over 2,300 I.T. mobility decision-makers and nearly 5,000 end user workers in North America and Europe were surveyed.
