Five years ago, tablets in the enterprise were rare. Today, they’re ubiquitous and causing headaches for IT managers, security officers and boardrooms everywhere. Will things get more chaotic in 2013, or will they calm down? Paulo Ferreira, head of mobile product and enterprise mobility at Samsung, believes the former.

“What we can expect is more platforms and more choices,” he predicts. “Windows 8, for example, is going to play not only in the tablet form factor, but also in the PC form factor. Corporates are asking about Windows 8 because they have a Microsoft infrastructure. They arguably don’t want to add to the existing complexity, but it’s still going to be a choice in 2013.”
