Despite challenges from a host of other vendors offering sophisticated mobile handsets to mobile professionals, the dominant position of BlackBerry among enterprise IT professionals is little changed, according to new survey data from market research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey.
Produced by Research in Motion, BlackBerry devices are "by far the preferred handset manufacturer among survey respondents," according to the research highlights. Conducted by Sage Research, the technology arm of Chadwick Martin Bailey, the survey collected responses from hundreds of IT decision-makers at large enterprises (1,000-plus employees).
The survey also indicates that RIM and its competitors haven't been particularly successful at pushing smartphone use beyond the executive suite. While more than 60% of the responding organizations use BlackBerry or other smartphones, "these deployments are typically not widespread and benefit only certain types of employees," including executives, sales staff, and IT workers.
