Game-changing


Mobility is a real game changer as a driver of revenue and enabler of new business models, driving benefits across people, processes and assets. It’s delivering strategic business benefits such as improved productivity, increased revenue, real time asset control and faster time to innovation.


The growing sophistication of smartphones is driving productivity and reducing costs, enabling employees to work anywhere using mobile applications.


Easier collaboration over mobile devices speeds up decision making and reduces time to market.


Machine-to-machine communications are improving asset control, giving organizations the opportunity to create a real- time event-driven enterprise.


Challenges


Mobilization offers significant business opportunities, but it also creates significant management challenges. Consumerization, for example, is a powerful driver but it also creates new control and security risks requiring new forms of management.


Organizations also need to find a way to accelerate the development of enterprise- standard mobile applications.


The growth of global operations makes it essentials to ensure a consistent global mobile experience for all users.


Foundation strategy


The Gartner research note in the newsletter recommends that organizations put a comprehensive mobile strategy in place from the outset. The foundation strategy should incorporate an integrated user policy to control and secure mobile devices, as well as a solution for device management to reduce the complexity of a fragmented multi-carrier environment.


To take advantage of the opportunities for remote asset management, it’s important to deploy a single platform across all devices and product lines to operate connected assets consistently and ensure real-time flow of information.


Applications


The foundation strategy must also support the development of enterprise applications to support business outcomes.


A cross-platform development strategy makes it easier to create and manage mobile applications on a common core, as well as enabling enterprise- grade security and end-to-end management of applications.


Implementing a foundation strategy and developing enterprise- grade applications will support business innovation through increased mobility and deliver a wide range of business benefits.
