      1 - With Their Jobs Becoming Ever More Complex, IT Pros Deserve Their Day

      The third Tuesday of every September is IT Professionals Day. Here’s a look at all they do that make them deserving of a day to honor them.

      2How Many Devices Connected?

      2 - How Many Devices Connected?

      More users are connecting a diverse set of electronic devices, including those personally owned, to corporate networks. Forty-seven percent of employed North American users say they connect more devices, whether company or personally owned, to corporate networks than they did 10 years ago, at an average of three more devices per user.

      3 - Personal Devices

      And, in fact, 47 percent of users say they indeed do connect more personally owned devices to corporate networks than they did 10 years ago—an average of two more per user.

      4SaaS Apps

      4 - SaaS Apps

      The technology users rely on increasingly is outside their employers’ on-premises infrastructure, including cloud-based applications and work-related resources leveraged beyond the office. Sixty percent of IT professionals globally say their organizations permit/facilitate the use of cloud-based applications; 71 percent also estimate that users at least occasionally use non-IT-sanctioned cloud-based applications.

      5Cloud Apps at Work

      5 - Cloud Apps at Work

      Additionally, 53 percent of users say they use cloud-based applications—both IT-facilitated and non-IT-sanctioned—while at work.

      6Work-Related Apps on Work Devices

      6 - Work-Related Apps on Work Devices

      Forty-nine percent of users say they regularly use work-related applications outside the office, on either company-owned or personally owned devices.

      7Performance of Employee-Owned Devices

      7 - Performance of Employee-Owned Devices

      Despite the increase in their reliance on technology often outside the control of their employers’ IT professionals, users still hold IT accountable for that technology’s performance. Sixty-two percent of IT professionals say the expectation to support users’ personally owned devices connected to corporate networks is significantly greater than it was 10 years ago, while 56 percent of users say they expect their employers’ IT professionals to ensure the performance of these devices.

      8Company vs. Personal Devices

      8 - Company vs. Personal Devices

      Forty-three percent of IT professionals say users expect the same time to resolution for issues with both personally and company-owned devices and technology. Additionally, 64 percent say users expect the same time to resolution for issues with both cloud-based applications and local applications (those managed directly by IT).

      9Consistent Cloud Performance

      9 - Consistent Cloud Performance

      Eighty-seven percent of users say they expect their employers’ IT professionals to ensure the performance of cloud-based applications used at work, with 68 percent going so far as to say it is those IT professionals’ fault if they do not perform as expected.

      10Performance Outside the Workplace

      10 - Performance Outside the Workplace

      Sixty-two percent of users expect work-related applications used outside the office to perform at the same level and to receive the same level of support from their employers’ IT professionals. Eighty-three percent of IT professionals, meanwhile, say they at least occasionally provide such support.
