forbrukerteknologi driver frem nye IT-løsninger i bedriftene
Explanation:
Dagens nøtt!

Kanskje er det best å unngå det vanskelige consumerization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerization) samt det engelske uttrykket, og heller satse på å overføre meningen så best det går.

Jeg tolker det som at IT viser til bedriftenes IT-avdelinger, og at disse avdelingene forsøker å holde tritt med og imøtekomme teknologiutviklingen på hjemmefronten.

Forbrukerne øker presset for valg av IT-løsninger


Explanation:
Hei Sigrid,

Det er ikke enkelt å foreslå noe som kan brukes, men hvis du har litt frie tøyler kan kanskje forslaget mitt hjelpe. Etter det jeg forstår, er det sluttbrukeren (tail) som fører an (hunden) etter hvert som IT-bransjen tar opp kampen om forbrukerne (come to grips with consumerization).

Example sentence(s):
  • Consumeration of IT... The user’s just taking more control and driving that back to IT
  • The notion of consumerization is that employees have in their homes better equipment and more capability than they are offered at work.
