Want your IT managers counting sheep?Want your IT managers counting sheep? Tell them about new waves of iPhones and iPhone killers coming to an office near them. This consumerization trend refers to consumer technologies being brought into the enterprise, with employees hellbent on integrating their personal devices with their enterprise applications.

There is good reason for lost sleep. According to a recent Datamonitor report, global enterprise expenditure on mobile devices will nearly triple by 2012, growing from $6 billion today to an estimated $17 billion. This underscores the need for IT managers to employ and enforce mobile device policies.

“Enterprises are fighting a losing battle against employees when it comes to mobile devices and they should consider supporting a limited selection of devices rather than banning them outright,” said Daniel Okubo, technology analyst with Datamonitor and the report’s author. “Allowing a range of the most popular devices will improve employee satisfaction and encourage more of them to embrace mobile devices and improve their productivity when away from the office.”
