IDC: Enterprise mobility and next-generation mobile platforms

IDC Whitepaper: Embracing Next-Generation Mobile Platforms (8 pages) [registration required]

This IDC white paper discusses how for enterprises today, mobility is no longer a "nice to have" feature; rather, it is considered a strategic component of their business. Deploying mobile applications provides strong productivity improvements and offers better customer touch for the mobile workers accessing these applications in the field, whether they are salespeople, knowledge workers, or field workers. Such applications also have strong benefits across the rest of the organization, such as:

Improved organizational efficiency, allowing workgroups to communicate better
Enhanced ability for managers to approve and delegate faster
Improved efficiency at company headquarters (Data gatherers, financial personnel, analysts, and others receive information in a much more efficient and timely manner with fewer errors.)
Increased speeds for processing proposals and contracts while top-level management receive information in real time to make better decisions
