INDUSTRY TRENDS

MOBILITY AND THE APPLICATION INVASION

41.7B App Downloads per year by 2015

1.2B Smartphones to be shipped in 2014

87% of Enterprises surveyed will add video conferencing by 2014

The frontiers between private and professional are blurring.

Mobility is #1 priority for IT decision makers

Detailed Application Visibility Is Essential To Handle The App Invasion
