2022 Enterprise Mobility Outlook Shows What's Working and What Isn't
This year's research paints a comprehensive picture of the current state of enterprise mobility. Organizations are leaning into mobile-first, but few are there yet.
The gap between self-perception and more quantifiable indicators on our Mobile-First Scale is troubling because that shows organizations have yet to fully understand what being truly mobile-first is, let alone how to get there.
Those that lag behind on mobile-first will miss out on opportunities for increased productivity, nimbleness, and better user experiences. That leaves them vulnerable to competitors that do it better or if new disruption happens.
With the availability of 5G soaring in 2022, organizations that can take advantage of new use cases also stand to get a leg up on competitors. Those who are mobile-first now already know how to launch new technology effectively, so they'll be able to leverage 5G innovations faster.
Looking at mobile's impact on the organization, it's clear that companies are re-thinking shared device strategies because of the challenges. Ownership of devices appears to be staying within organizations, and BYOD hasn't expanded at the rate many predicted it would a few years ago.
The need for high levels of customization isn't going away, but enterprise solutions typically involve such large numbers of devices that it's economical to tailor solutions to specific needs. While Android is the leader in the customization space, Apple is aggressively going after the business market, so the gap between the use of the two leading operating systems may get smaller.
Those that lag behind on mobile-first will miss out on opportunities for increased productivity, nimbleness, and better user experiences.
Third Year for the Enterprise Mobility Report Brings Important New Insights
With our 2022 Outlook and Mobile-First Score, we can see who's leveraging mobile for digital transformation, how they're doing it, the challenges, and what they need to do to improve.
Our first Enterprise Mobility Outlook—done just before the pandemic outbreak—showed how early technology adopters were leading the way on overall revenue.
Our second study in 2021 gave us a report card on how organizations were responding to the pandemic and who was best equipped.
