Mobility transforms the Enterprise and prospects

Companies not often know the full extent of the changes mobile software solutions will carry to their association. They welcome the idea of having admission to enterprise content in mobile environments and converting paper document processes to electronic, but they don't often observe the whole dream for how enterprise mobility can re-engineer trade processes until they have walked the lane for a while.

• A large amount mobile software projects begin small and have a very limited user base and business focus in the beginning.  As the users begin to test and accept the new mobile software solutions, they most often expand the project as they quickly recognize the efficiencies that can be gained by using mobile enterprise.  It seems many companies must seem to believe.

• There is usually some point about 80 percent through the mobile software project when the lights go on!  The client can observe ahead of their immediate project to the greater potential for enterprise mobility.  This is where the client starts wanting to insert to the list of features and enlarge the project scope.

• Mobility is a process - a company may start with simple mobile micro-apps (small iPhone, BlackBerry, Android apps) for alerts, notices, paper replacement, etc., and then expand to geospatially aware apps that are integrated with business intelligence and knowledge management applications.

• The mobile consumer also has a smartphone, and they are ever more complicated in their facts and use of smartphones.  Their prospects for mobile enterprise applications are rapidly increasing.
