CoA focusses on giving consumers with highly immersive apps experience with strong focus on User Interface and Persona and at the same time managing added risk in terms of security, privacy, and compliance. For IT, it’s about striking a balance between user expectations and enterprise requirements.

The main challenges CIOs and IT Pros will need to resolve to avoid frustrating and to fulfill the expectations of these new workers are among other things: •how to certify soon new devices for their enterprises •how to provide a common experience across disparate devices •how to secure the communications •how to protect personal information •how to increase the capacity of their systems to support the new demand

The good news is that all these challenges don’t come alone, they come also with lot of opportunities, because the Consumerization of IT can boost productivity with new ways of communicate and being connected, we have seen also how the use of Social Networks for instance drives higher levels of NSAT among customers and increased loyalty.
