The Enterprise Mobility Policy Guidebook - Business Policy Edition

Philippe Winthrop — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Strategy Analytics research shows that over 90% of organizations now have employees using smartphones within their work environments. Depending on the size of the organization, this can cover tens of thousands of individuals. However, enterprise mobility management can be a daunting task for organizations. The first step in managing mobility is to have a mobility policy.
Strategy Analytics research has shown that companies with defined mobility policies have higher returns on their mobility investments in terms of workforce flexibility, employee responsiveness to customer needs, as well revenues and profitability that can be attributed to their mobility investments. This document is meant to be a tool for IT and LoB decision makers who are struggling to define a mobility policy for their organization. Strategy Analytics does not suggest your organization should adopt ALL these policies, but offers these ideas as "food for thought" as you develop the policy that best fits your company's and employees' needs

Creating a Holistic Mobility Strategy

Philippe Winthrop — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The growth of mobility within the enterprise is a double-edged sword.

This Strategy Analytics PowerPoint presentation highlights the key criteria for decision makers both in the IT department and within Lines of Business in terms of what is required to develop a holistic, end-to-end, mobility strategy. This document provides:

1. End-user organizations, a framework for how to go about approaching the life-cycle of a mobility deployment;

Business Mobility Solutions Mid-Year Review and 2009 Outlook

Philippe Winthrop — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT

The portion of overall IT budgets allocated to wireless spending in 2008 was pegged to 12% overall, and that is unlikely to change dramatically in 2009.

International markets will offset the more challenging conditions of the US market while the midsize business market still appears to be robust in the face of less discretionary project spending among large enterprises. This report analyses the key trends that have thus far characterized 2008 and the trends that will shape the wireless enterprise market in 2009.
