Workplace Challenges

Hand-held problems

The luxury of working from a hand-held computer while on the go may save you time and hassle, but it's giving someone else a headache.

The Computing Technology Industry Association, or CompTIA, says that information technology departments are spending much more time and money supporting personal digital assistants, or PDAs, than any other office technology. In fact, IT professionals have reported investing 30 times more energy and money to support the Blackberry smart phone than laptop computers.

The Blackberry and similar devices pose much higher security risks, whether it's misplacing them or not connecting securely.

Connecting mobile devices with network printers and other technology can also prove difficult or time consuming. It can also be expensive, as companies often need to update other devices so that they are compatible.
