The Business Mobility Imperative

Whether brought in by employees or distributed by employers, mobile devices enable flexibility, increase productivity, and protect business continuity. However, most companies take a scattered approach to usage, procurement, management, security, and software development of mobility.

Forrester sees many companies combining roles to manage everything from laptops to smartphones. But to streamline mobility decisions and maintain the edge mobility investments provide, it's critical that companies take into account the multiple elements they must manage. Forming a mobile operations role is the right path toward managing this complexity.
