description Consumer devices are entering offices every day, and the line between business life and personal life is morphing with the combination of social media and mobile technology. So how does this affect you? Traditional corporate hardware sales in the form of client devices are going away. In fact, John Ross, CTO of GreenPages, told me last year that in a few years he won't even issue PCs or client devices to GreenPages' employees anymore. Rather, employees will need to have their own laptops and will be given the ability to access the necessary applications via the virtualized environment. Ross is transitioning and plans to have the policy in effect next year. While this may have been met with resistance three to five years ago, it isn't a big stretch today. Many employees have devices at home and would rather use their own system than a company-issued laptop.
