    When it comes to the corporate end-user computing experience, the landscape is currently in a state of transformation in terms of the devices that employees can use to do their jobs and the manner in which they use those devices to access business applications. In order to garner more insight into these trends, ESG recently surveyed 395 IT professionals responsible for overseeing the endpoint device, application, and mobile computing strategy for their organization. A critical focus of the research included specific endpoint device trends, such as bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and their effect on the entrenched end-user computing ecosystem, namely Windows-based desktop and laptop PCs.

    当它来到公司终端用户计算的经验时,风景当前在变革状态根据雇员能使用做他们的工作和方式他们使用那些设备访问商业应用的设备。 为了获取更多洞察入这些趋向, ESG最近勘测了395它专家负责任对监督对他们的组织的终点设备、申请和移动计算机处理技术战略。 研究的重要焦点包括具体终点设备趋向,例如带来你自己设备(BYOD)政策和他们的作用对确立的终端用户计算的生态系,即基于窗口的桌面和膝上计算机个人计算机。

    One of the areas of examination involved organizations’ openness to Google Chromebook and its potential to disrupt the aforementioned old guard approach. As seen in Figure 1, more than two-thirds of respondents expect that Google Chromebooks will impact their organization’s existing Windows-based endpoint device footprint, whether to a significant (38%) or minor (32%) extent. At the other end of the spectrum, less than one-quarter of organizations report having absolutely no plans to provide their employees with Chromebooks. 

    其中一个考试介入的组织区域’开放性对Google Chromebook和它的潜力打乱上述的老卫兵方法。 如被看见在表1,超过应答者的三分之二期待Google Chromebooks将冲击他们的组织的现有的基于窗口的终点设备脚印,是否在重大(38%)或较小(32%)程度上。 在光谱的另一端,组织的少于四分之一不报告有绝对计划提供他们的雇员以Chromebooks。

    In an effort to further profile those organizations with a greater affinity toward Chromebook, ESG segmented the respondents according to the amount of time their organization has been in existence (i.e., age of the organization). Given their proclivity for being at the forefront of technology trends like cloud computing1 and BYOD,2 it is not surprising that younger organizations are considerably more bullish on their Google Chromebook outlook. Specifically, those organizations that have been operating for ten years or less are more than twice as likely as those that have been around for more than 20 years (56% versus 24%) to believe that Chromebooks will have a significant impact on their Windows-based endpoint device footprint (see Table 1). In addition to the previous observations about the technology tendencies of these younger organizations, it is worth pointing out that the Windows-based endpoint device profile of these organizations is likely much smaller from the outset than their more established counterparts that have been in business since the PC revolution of the 1980s. For their part, 41% of organizations that have been in existence for more than 20 years have no plans to provide Chromebooks to their employees, compared with only 9% of those organizations born in the digital age.

    进一步描出那些组织以更加巨大的亲合力往Chromebook, ESG根据他们的组织存在的时间分割了应答者(即,组织的年龄)。 给出他们的倾向为是在技术最前方趋向象云彩computing1,并且BYOD, 2它不惊奇更加年轻的组织是可观地看涨在他们的Google Chromebook外型。 具体地,经营十年的那些组织或较少比两次是更多可能,象超过20年的那些(56%对24%)相信Chromebooks将有对他们基于窗口的终点设备脚印的重大冲击(参见表1)。 除早先观察之外关于这些更加年轻的组织技术倾向,它值得指出这些组织基于窗口的终点设备外形比在事务从80年代的个人计算机革命的他们的建立的相对物从外边是可能小。 为他们的部分,存在为超过的41%组织20年没有计划提供Chromebooks给他们的雇员,比较在数字时代负担的仅9%那些组织。
