Looking ahead, disruption readiness may have less to do with the specific technology types invested in and more to do with the mindsets of enterprise decision makers. IT and mobility decision makers that have the most confident and prepared technology outlooks through 2030 offer several advantageous points of guidance with their deployment strategies. An openness to technology partnerships is unquestionably a major operational advantage; IT teams are spread too thin already, and the size of mobile fleets, cybersecurity threats and data analytics touchpoints will continue to outpace their ability to monitor and manage them.
Early Adopters and the Mainstream Adopters are moving forward with initiatives to achieve disruption ahead of making foundational strategic investments in infrastructure, support and processes. It is recommended that organizations shift their disruption strategies to reprioritize their ability to support new technologies ahead of their eagerness to deploy the solutions themselves. This requires engaging tech partners – specifically the use of Managed Mobility Services as an outsourced hub to secure, procure, deploy and manage an organization’s mobile fleet – but also more generously deploying user-friendly mobile solutions to support frontline workers. This will help develop satisfaction among mobile workers and achieve the productivity and revenue gains boasted by Innovators.
As you look to future-proof your organizations, be sure to identify partners with a proven track-record providing industry and client-specific solutions harnessing the value of technology that directly impact your organization’s operations today while providing a foundation for benefitting from emerging solutions as they mature.
