| Description: | Ubiquitous mobile phone usage has made us accustomed to being always in contact. While personal devices hint at the potential offered by truly mobile business applications this sector has not yet achieved its potential. This has led to pent-up demand for desktop-like corporate applications on wireless devices with a realisation that the portability of a Smartphone or PDA can be coupled with the functionality of the notebook computer.
Meanwhile, advances in bandwidth mean that virtually any type of content can be digitised and communicated over Internet Protocol - capable of carrying information from any server to virtually any home, office or handset in the world.
The purpose of this briefing is to outline how the concept of mobility can be applied to enterprise operations to bring a positive business impact by enabling all staff to be more tightly integrated with enterprise knowledge systems. It begins with an overview of enterprise mobility and how it can be established. It presents a description of the current wave of mobile applications and continues by building a picture of the expected enterprise, private and public applications that will develop in the next five years.
