Tablets in the office: a change of mood in the headquarters of the CIO
A year ago, Silicon.com surveyed CIOs for their loyalty to mobile devices in terms of corporate communications.
Then the IT managers were not ready to seriously consider tablets as a business tool. Rather, they were forced to put up with the growth of their popularity in the ordinary life of employees and were ready that gradually they would begin to penetrate to work places.
In early 2011, RIA Novosti concluded that over a year a quarter of tablets would be in the corporate market (more than 10 million units).
And recently, the system integrator Asteros received the views of 86 IT and business executives from the TOP-1000 of the largest Russian companies. It turned out that 75% of CIOs turned out to be more complacent towards using tablets in business and even themselves were their active users.

Computer manufacturers didn’t have to wait, and only in the last 12 months several tablets were announced, positioned as "corporate".
As a rule, behind this definition stand both “enhanced” traditional parameters: high processor power, memory size, battery capacity, display characteristics, etc., and specialized ones. These include the ability to integrate into the corporate computer network, the installation of work applications and some items about security (password management, remote wipe data, search for a stolen device, etc.).
In addition, each manufacturer finds its own "chip", giving a hint of the possibility of use in a business environment.
For example , Motorola Solutions ET1 running Android offers an additional connection to a barcode scanner, a payment reader and a mobile printer, orienting tablets to the retail and service sector.
Toughpad - a new product from Panasonic appeals to three standards: military 810G (device resistance to temperature and pressure drops, impacts, sunlight, salt and water), FIPS 140-2 standard in information encryption and protection, and HIPAA , which regulates the security of electronic communications medical information.
ThinkPad Lenovo has an interesting handwriting input and recognition program. I wonder if the handwriting affects her work and can she recognize medical scribbles?
RIM tablets are equipped with QNX, a real-time operating system used for very demanding applications (for example, bridging, traffic control, and even nuclear reactor control).
Cisco Cius has bet on the possibility of continuous video (thanks to the support of LTE networks). As a bonus, there is a docking station for convenient video messaging from the workplace and pre-installed applications for working with other Cisco video communication services.
Thus, today it is no longer a question of whether tablets are applicable in a working environment or not, but about what goals this or that model more corresponds to.
Just as it does not seem strange and reducing the share of tablets Apple . Who knows, maybe the “tablet” as a form factor will gradually start completely replacing laptops from workplaces, as the latter have done with stationary computers.
