Virtualisation Era
July 4, 2008The use of virtualisation technology offers companies the alternative to allow employees to select and run their own devices at work. The latest study from analyst house Gartner into employee-owned-notebook programmes showed that more and more people wish to use their own laptops at work.
Gartner claimed that portable-technology users are keen on using particular devices and brands as a fashion statement. Companies will increasingly find it difficult to force their employees to use whatever generic device they give them.
Employees want to use only those devices they are comfortable with. Gartner claimed that any employee-owned-notebook programme needs to have four basic elements:
- A technology solution needed to protect the device along with the network that it is linked to
- Policies required to guide user behaviour
- Third-party maintenance in order to ensure that the device is available
- Some kind of incentive offered to the employees for the responsibility they are willing to take up.
