I love my iPad.  How did I survive without it?    And I am not alone.  The use of tablets in business is on the rise. Increasingly, employees require enterprise connectivity from their personal smartphones and tablet devices, also known as the “Bring Your Own Device” to work trend…. not BYOB but BYOD!

According to IDC France, the tablet market is forecast to reach over 4.1 million in 2012, representing a 48% growth compared to 2011.  The study reveals that 73% of business leaders surveyed currently allowed mobile devices to connect to their corporate networks!
