Making Tablets and Touch Devices Work for Government

Government workers need greater mobility to get their 
jobs done in today’s challenging times. While tablets and 
touch devices used to be more promise than practicality for
government, new hardware and software capabilities are
changing mobile devices from ”toys” into high-performance
computing devices that can perform public sector work
powerfully and securely.

Not all tablets and touch devices are created equal, and
a free-for-all bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach can
undermine your organization’s stability, efficiency and security.
We need touch devices that are capable of running our real-life,
line-of-business applications. Devices must also tie into our
identity management, security and support infrastructures.
Most of all, they need to deliver on the promise of mobile
productivity. This issue brief provides a guide to integrating
tablets and touch devices into your public sector IT enterprise in
a way that will deliver real results — and real productivity.
