The Strength of a Sound Strategy The first step in a successful mobility initiative is to set out a clear strategy of what you want to accomplish, and determine the best route to get there. How do you want to use mobility within your organization? What are your users’ requirements and the limitations of your existing infrastructure?


Once you’ve answered those questions, it’s time to examine your options for portable devices and data service plans. Since giving your users the ability to work anywhere has such a big impact on their workflow, you will also want to consider new training programs and potential changes to usage policies. Mapping out your mobility strategy is much easier when you have a thorough understanding of your current infrastructure’s strengths and weaknesses. A network assessment is an excellent way to ensure your organization focuses improvements on the appropriate areas and generates the biggest returns on your mobility initiative.
