Thirty four years ago the first generally available personal computer (called a microcomputer in those days) was released by Apple, the Apple II, and in 1981 IBM brought us the Personal Computer (PC) for business usage. Since then the PC has been a device that has been adopted by both the consumer market (thanks to Microsoft and Apple) and the corporate market (were IBM, HP and Intel played a prominent role). Although both markets have been highly successful, there has always been a Chinese wall between these two markets. Now in 2011 the wall between these two markets is gradually being taken down as the border between “Work and Play” is getting less clear by the day.


The term “consumerization” was first popularized in 2001 as a description for how innovation in information technology was emerging in consumer-based technology first, with the expectation it would eventually migrate into the enterprise. In other words, the increasing influence that consumers have on the technology (both hardware and software) we expect to use at the corporate workplace.

Suddenly, PCs are everywhere. Employees telecommute, they bring their own laptops to work, they use smart phones and tablets to extend that work, and use cloud apps and social networking to collaborate and connect. As a result many people now find that their home based IT equipment and services are often more capable and less expensive than what is provided in their workplace. Users have higher demands for the IT tools they need; it is about functionality, user experience, productivity and freedom of choice.

For most IT departments, users bringing in their own devices and applications are a nightmare. They worry about the security risks and having to fix applications on machines that they do not own. Unless they use Scense …
