| | | That's a pretty good business sampling, and it makes perfect sense. Intermedia provides third party hosted Exchange services for small and medium sized businesses.
In order to activate a device on Intermedia's network, the owner of the device would have to have a job with one of the companies that contracts for its services, and the job would need to be one where the employee had need to use Exchange services.
We know that Android demographics show their users aren't as well educated as iOS users, and earn considerably less.
That means the employees who bring their own iOS devices to work for activation on Intermedia's system are the white-collar workers who the company want to utilize Exchange services and the Android phones brought to work in those companies will be in the pockets of the guys on the loading dock and the people in the food service and janitorial workforce with no need for Exchange services.
The IT guys who set up the phones to utilize Exchange services will be able to set the iOS devices up in a few minutes, knowing the devices will be on iOS 6 or 7, both of which handle Exchange fine, whereas an Android device will require a lot of head scratching to sort out a broad range of security, carrier, hardware and software issues.
the report is a very good snapshot of what I see happening at my workplace, and what I see being reported from corporate reports throughout the world regarding business adoption of iOS devices vs. Android devices. |
