Greater need for governance of IT systems
Increased emphases from the business to lower operational spending
Today's generation of IT consumers are digital natives
They often are adept at system use and are most productive in flexible computing environment
Greater demand on computing device choice
Demand on flexibility of work location
Use of personal applications and data
