Enterprises frequently ask a pivotal question: How did mobile get so complex so fast? While there are several factors contributing to mobile’s “degree of difficulty,” a quick historical review holds some revealing insights.
The Rapid Evolution of Enterprise Mobile traces mobile’s progress through three distinct time periods:
1: The Era of Specialized Mobility – the debut of commercial mobile via specialized deployments of rugged devices.
2: The Era of Enterprise-wide Growth – mobile begins to take shape as an enterprise-wide connectivity platform largely due to the proliferation of consumer devices that make their way into business settings.
3: The Era of Strategic Mobile – the technology emerges as tool for business transformation.
Looking Ahead: Predictions for Mobile’s Future - how mobile innovation will continue to benefit the enterprise over time.
While each of these three eras has its own challenges and opportunities, one characteristic permeates each time period – an increasing and expanding complexity. As complexity continues to grow, enterprises must resolve the new issues that crop up in the planning, deployment and management of enterprise mobility.
