For many companies, mobility has seeped into the organization through tactical solutions to specific field problems — few have come to mobility with a strategic vision from the outset. With nearly 47% of companies deploying mobile solutions by May 2005, it is becoming increasingly important to evolve from tactical mobility projects to a consolidated, managed, enterprisewide approach to mobility to limit operational costs and security risks. As companies do so, a distinction is emerging in the way that they need to think about the information needs of mobile workers, such as field service technicians, versus the mobile needs of information users, such as executives. As a result, centrally managing and optimizing the unique needs of each of these groups requires structured approaches across technology and the organization.
