Can you be an enterprise-only device-maker?
Agreed, but differences remain. Consumers exchange privacy data for low cost distribution. Is IT ready to exchange privacy data for consumerization?
Jean-Louis Gassée says no in this HP WebOS thought piece:
“The consumerization of IT renders the “enterprise-only” pivot null and void. In this new world, Google and Apple wage an ecosystem war: devices + apps + distribution. Add marketing, if you want, but Word Of Mouth is still more potent than ad dollars. Or merely reinforces it.”
