• #35: A visit to the stands in the exhibition hall reinforces the burgeoning pervasiveness of Mobile Learning. Globally, smartphone shipments are estimated at over 600 million in 2015, and tablets will ramp at a similar pace. Smartphones will actually surpass laptops this year. As the top provider of computers to schools worldwide for several years (checking IDC for # of years), we’re very close to this trend. In fact, Dell has really fueled the move to mobility in education as we’ve developed purpose-built solutions like the Latitude netbook for students. With features like a rubberized case for durability, schools ordered about 75,000 of those netbooks during the first week they launched. We’re excited to be releasing the third generation of that netbook this week, the Latitude 2120. And schools all over the world are embracing – or having to accept – the reality that more and more students are bringing their own devices to school. This is consistent with overall mobility trends…in fact, 300 million of the 600 million smartphones coming online in the next four years will demand access to Enterprise data, but only 150 million will be Enterprise-owned. Of course, this is a blessing and a curse for CIOs – cost outlays for devices may decrease, but providing secure content across disparate platforms comes with its own challenges. We are working on a new solution for Mobile Device Management, which we see becoming increasingly important as CIOs focus on managing and securing school-owned mobile devices, often times using several operating systems. Our solution will provide CIOs with a way to securely manage and scale with all of the major mobile operating systems.
