Apple and Deloitte Partnering on Consulting Service to Promote iOS Devices in Enterprise
Apple today announced an enterprise partnership with Deloitte, which will see Deloitte creating an Apple practice with more than 5,000 "strategic advisors" focused on providing businesses with guidance on how to "change the way they work," updating technology on all of their systems, from retail to R&D to inventory management.
The two also plan to create a new service from Deloitte Consulting called "EnterpriseNext," which will help Deloitte clients "fully take advantage" of the iOS ecosystem, from hardware to software.

I dont like this move. Stick to your core-business Apple.
If Apple stuck to its core business back in the day, we'd never see an ipod, iPhone or iPad. In fact Macs would have been marketed exclusively to the graphical designers, and few others.Apple's success is tied directly to the fact, they went into markets that were NOT their core business.

Cue flurry of "I hate Deloitte" comments and horror stories about huge Deloitte consulting projects going awry and ruining lines of business...
oh, wait...someone beatmetoit.
There's a reason people hate Deloitte. They're a ****** company, terrible to work for (mandatory 50 hour work weeks, mandatory community cleanup weekends, the whole "you have to work over your 100% allotted hours" garbage, and their contractors who, like you stated, are very good at running projects into the ground.
They're like a puppy mill for developers.

Congratulations! I worked in their mid market consulting practice out of college and really enjoyed it. Wonder if they'll send you to their big training facility in Westlake, TX?
Deloitte University. They should, I believe all new staff spends the first week in Welcome 2 Deloitte at a local office, and the second week for their service line training at DU. Gotta be careful though, you will gain weight there, I know I did... Three words, Mac n' Cheese.
No matter how many big companies Apple partner with, it's now too late to change its final fate of dwindling down to low-single-digit market share, just like how its Mac line did in the 1990's.
Android has already taken near to 90% market share, more and more companies / organizations will focus their support ONLY on Android, after that most of the tiny software companies will follow suit, then the small software companies, eventually the only companies will keep good support on the iOS platform would be the handful of giant software companies.
Since 4 or 5 years ago I've been saying that it'll happen, if Apple doesn't radically change its course. Now, it's already too late, no chance to bail out.
Not sure where you get that from. iOS owns the enterprise. Within my firm we are almost completely iOS, and every client I have worked with is iOS. The only time I see android is when dealing with IT. Beyond that, most of these people have personal phones too, and they too are overwhelmingly iOS. Android may be winning in the lower markets, but where the money is, iOS owns it. Most internal applications we have are iOS first.

Im just asking this now because i know it is bound to come up at some point.
I'd be happy if Apple decided to go into the enterprise world.
