Developing a Mobile Strategy – What is it? Why do I need it? How do I start?
Webcast Friday, February 3
11AM Central
If you don’t think you need to address your company’s mobility needs, think again.
Consider that by 2013, more than 1.19 billion workers worldwide will be using mobile technology, accounting for 34.9% of the workforce (IDC). And, 86% of Fortune 50 firms currently offer mobile apps (Forbes). It is just a matter of time until your competitors will have mobility resources in place, incentivizing both your customers and employees away from your company, unless that is, you develop a mobile strategy now.
Questions Executives Need to Consider:
1. How do we secure and manage our employee’s mobile devices?
2. Do we have an Enterprise Mobility Strategy?
3. What business processes can/should I mobilize?
4. How will people-centric mobility alter my existing business models?
5. How can I use mobility to extend the reach of my Business?
Mobility is a top priority for executives but limited internal resources, the exponentially increasing number of mobile devices, and security concerns make it a complex endeavor.
