LIFE 2 - Mobility

“It would be verging on the negligent not to go mobile.” This statement by Professor Arnold Picot succinctly sums up the debate in the think tank on the topic of mobility. The experts all agreed that there is no way around mobile ICT solutions for any company. While mobility is not a new topic for companies, it remains a very current issue, and one that has many different facets. On the one hand, mobility has firmly and broadly established itself in specific areas. Mobile communication solutions, applications for unified communications or mobile order management systems for sales staff are standard technologies in many companies. Despite this, many enterprises are struggling with old, gridlocked structures, while at the same time the boundaries between private life and work are increasingly blurring and large numbers of employees would like to be able to work with more flexibility and mobility. The think tank experts are unanimous that the mobile provision of business applications is still in its infancy and that this field offers vast potential.
