What is consumerization?
It's probably the most disruptive trend for IT for the next 10 years, and it means two things for corporate IT.
One, is that there is more and more consumer technology available that the enterprise can deploy with the internal customer base. There is mobile, but there are many other applications here that somehow have a space in the enterprise.
But probably, the second aspect, which is probably the more challenging for corporate IT, is the fact that this consumer technology is brought into the enterprise by the end users, which really represent a challenge, as we'll see, because the IT process is not really designed to receive technology from outside. It's designed to deploy technology internally.
