In our last post, we discussed a very brief history of Apple’s ascent as the leader in consumer-driven IT. In this article, I am going to draw a distinction between Consumer- and Enterprise- Driven IT. By looking at these differences, we will start to get a better understanding of where the IT sector is currently heading.
