Summary

Enterprise mobility has been talked about for years now. Key drivers for enterprise mobility across North America, Europe, and Asia include an increasingly mobile workforce, an explosion of mobile devices used by employees, and better applications that deliver real productivity to the workforce in a mobile environment.

In our 2008 Global Enterprise Telecommunications Survey, we found that while enterprise mobility is top-of-mind for Global 2000 CIOs and IT Managers, they are under no illusions about the amount of time and money it is going to take to fully integrate mobility as part of the offering to their employees. IEMR's 2008 Global Enterprise Telecommunications Survey has found that enterprises are only interested in provisioning and supporting a limited number of their mission-critical employees (Managers, sales staff, etc.) as part of their mobility and mobility support plans.

Executive Summary

Enterprise Mobility is a priority for IT departments
Demand factors for mobility and mobility support include the preponderance of mobile networks and the availability of more mobile devices and applications

There is significant usage of a wide range of wireless networks among Global 2000 enterprises (between 4% - 45%) which is causing them to think about enterprise-wide mobility business plans
Our survey shows that device diversity is another reason for enterprise-wide mobility planning
Preponderance of enterprise-wide applications is a third reason why Global 2000 companies are thinking about mobility business planning

While all employees would like to have enterprise mobility, Global 2000 enterprises IT departments will limit usage to management, task workers, and sales force staff
