The business environment is changing with consumer-owned devices in the workplace now being used to perform every day tasks.  IT departments and managers are tasked with ensuring these devices (tablets, smartphones, laptops) are secure and compliant â" a trend known as consumerization of IT. To help businesses of all sizes embrace this new business trend, our very own Ramon Ray, editor of Smallbiztechnology.com, will be hosting a tweet chat to discuss common myths associated with it.
On September 26, 2012 at 12PM CDT, join Ramon (@RamonRay), Sean Wisdom from Dell (@DellSMBUS) and Matt Watson from Microsoft (@Microsoft and @MicrosoftSMB) for a tweet chat about âDebunking 4 myths in consumerization of IT.â
What They'll Cover:
They'll be debunking the following 4 myths in the consumerization of IT:
- Employees are using personal devices just to get around firewalls and browse social sites

- Employees are less productive when allowed to use personal devices in the workplace
