Why Organizations Should Deploy Technology with Users in Mind

New technologies may be fascinating or amazing, but they aren’t worth much if users don’t actually use them. As technology developers work on new solutions, and as organizations deploy them, they must keep users in mind and take steps to ensure that these tools are adopted into use. At the CDW IT Leadership SummIT in Chicago, we spoke with IT leaders about how organizations can overcome the challenges of technology adoption.
