Just second year into their existence, tablets are set to sweep corporate offices, according to a survey.
With tablets' business apps luring them, about half of chief information officers (CIOs) at major companies say they will increase use of tablets in the next two years, according to the survey by Robert Half Technology.
Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Robert Half Technology said the survey targeted more than 1,400 CIOs at US companies with 100 or more employees.
In the survey, CIOs were asked, "To what extent, if any, do you think your company's use of tablet computers will increase or decrease in the next two years?''
While 49 percent of respondents said they will increase use of tablet, 40 percent opted to stick with PCs or laptops. Nine percent were not sure about the tablet.
"With more companies moving to Internet-based file sharing and data storage, along with an emphasis on portability and mobile productivity, it's no surprise CIOs anticipate wider use of tablet computers,'' said John Reed, executive director of Robert Half Technology, in a statement.
"The challenge for IT departments will be providing adequate support and security,'' he added.
