By David Krebs, Vice President, Mobile & Wireless for VDC

This presentation from VDC talks about what VDC is, tablet market dynamics, taotal cost of ownership models, rugged tablet TCO, and includes some customer success stories from Motion Computing.

The recent influx of consumer devices into the enterprise through broader support for BYOD programs and the desire by users for a more intuitive and modern platform has contributed to an increase in device failure rates.

Failure rates for popular (non-rugged) consumer devices used to support line of business applications exceeds 15% for tablets and 20% of smartphones, representing a measurable increase in comparison to the previous research conducted by VDC.

Conversely, failure rates of rugged devices dropped. While end users are using devices longer, on average, as a result to access to capital issues, a shift in device class deployed has contributed to a drop in average failure rate.
