Ook in bedrijven verliest de traditionele desktop flink terrein. Zo is de verkoop van zakelijke desktop pc's in West-Europa tussen juli en augustus met 10 procent ingezakt. Bedrijven geven hun geld maar een keer uit en investeren meer in mobiele apparaten.
Dat blijkt uit marktcijfers van het Britse onderzoeksbureau Context. Gemiddeld daalde de verkoop van desktop pc's met 10,3 procent. Context schrijft deze daling toe aan de populariteit van draagbare apparaten in de enterprisemarkt. Er wordt wel geïnvesteerd in hardware, maar dat betreft vooral smartphones en tablets. "De daling in de verkoop van desktop-pc's heeft niet alleen te maken met de slechte economie, maar door de mobiliteitsbehoeften van bedrijven professionals ", aldus Nausica Rosina van Context in een commentaar op de onderzoeksresultaten.

ALL-IN-1 was an office automation product developed and sold by Digital Equipment Corporation in the 1980s. HP now maintains the current version Office Server V3.2 for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX systems.[1]
ALL-IN-1 was advertised as an office automation system including functionality in Electronic Messaging, Word Processing and Time Management. It offered an application development platform and customization capabilities that ranged from scripting to code-level integration.
ALL-IN-1 was designed and developed by Skip Walter, John Churin and Marty Skinner from Digital Equipment Corporation who began work in 1977[2] .[3] The first version of the software was called CP/OSS, the Charlotte Package of Office System Services, named after the location of the developers. In 1983, the product was renamed ALL-IN-1 and the Charlotte group continued to develop versions 1.1 through 1.3.
Digital then made the decision to move most of the development activity to its central engineering facility in Reading, United Kingdom, where a group there took responsibility for the product from version 2.0 (released in field test in 1984 and to customers in 1985) onward.
The Charlotte group continued to work on the Time Management subsystem until version 2.3 and other contributions were made from groups based in Sophia-Antipolis, France (System for Customization Management and the integration with VAX Notes),
Reading (Message Router and MAILbus), and Spitbrook, New Hampshire (FMS). ALL-IN-1 V3.0 introduced shared file cabinets and the File Cabinet Server (FCS) to lay the foundation for an eventual integration with TeamLinks, Digital's PC office client. Previous integrations with PCs included PC ALL-IN-1, a DOS-based product introduced in 1989 that never proved popular with customers.
