Making the Right Connections: Staying Ahead in a Wireless World

In today's rapidly expanding and dynamic marketplace, corporate businesses embrace new technologies in order to stay resilient and ahead of competitors. One such revolution that has happened in Asia/Pacific is the emergence of enterprise mobility as a strategic business asset.

Enterprise mobility is commonly defined as the process of extending business applications / solutions through the use of wireless technology, which can be wireless LAN (WLAN), cellular / mobile, or other technologies, such as wireless broadband. Enterprise mobility allows employees to access business applications while on the go, including wireless emails and databases, using a mobile device, such as a data-capable mobile phone, wireless PDA, or laptop computer.

Making Headway
Companies choose wireless applications either to improve productivity, or to offer greater flexibility to their employees. Continued advancements in mobile technologies - from improved wireless networks and security, to an exploding range of mobile devices and mobile solutions - enable companies to extend once office-bound corporate resources to their mobile workforce.

Why does it remain ubiquitous? The benefits of wireless mobility are manyfold:
  • Improves productivity
  • Ensures business continuity
  • Provides end users with greater flexibility
  • Promises tangible business benefits such as real time return on investment (ROI)
  • Helps organizations gain and sustain a competitive edge

    However, as with most new technologies, enterprise mobility also brings with it several stumbling blocks, such as issues involving security, service consolidation and interoperability. Lack of sufficient applications and limited choices in handheld devices are some of the other obstacles that CIOs encounter. While enterprise mobility vendors and service providers are plotting strategies to capitalize on the maximum profits from the recent mobility wave, CIOs continue to mull over the advantages this technology delivers to maximize their mobile workforce.
