Enterprise Mobility Matters

Upcoming Webinar on Mission Critical Enterprise Mobility

Another short note to let everyone know I just completed some pretty cool research on "mission critical" enterprise mobility.  I will be sharing some of the findings of that research during a webinar on November 18 at 2pm EST with my good friends at Mobile Enterprise Magazine.

Ping Pong for Enterprise Mobility

Over the course of my time running this blog, as well as my time as a research analyst covering the space of enterprise mobility, I have had the pleasure of meeting scores of companies and hundreds of people who are as passionate as I am about what mobility can do for the enterprise.  One of those organizations is a Canadian company called Analystik.

The team over at Analystik reached out to me to see if we could start a little debate around productivity gains from enterprise mobility.  A ping pong match if you will.  Now sure, they might speak a funny kind of French over there (sorry, being born in Paris, I just couldn't help myself), but I'm always game to debate the merits of enterprise mobility.  So here it goes...

Mobility NOT a Top 10 Strategic Enterprise Technology for 2009: So Says Gartner

Call this a quick post, but I read an article yesterday on eWeek that absolutely alarmed me.  OK, maybe it just made me scratch my head really hard. Gartner is holding its annual Symposium/ITxpo this week and during that event, announced what it considers will be the Top 10 strategic technologies for organizations in 2009.  Not enough time to read the list?  Let me net it out for you.  Mobility did not make the list.    How can that be?  Could it have been #11?

Crack and Enterprise Mobility Just Don't Mix - Part II

OK, after having gotten so many positive (oral) comments from people on my original post and the comic feedback I got from people just when I shared its title, I think I've decided this will be the title of a new series of posts I will create when I hear something I find completely absurd.

This time around, I am pointing my (trigger happy?) sights on Peter Misek of Canaccord Adams who in a Reuters article asserts that Microsoft should consider buying out RIM.  Lord help us...

So WiMax is Now Live...

After months of challenges and changes in strategy, Sprint's XOHM service is now available in Baltimore.  Congratulations to Sprint, Clearwire, Google and the rest of the companies that have pumped BILLIONS of dollars into this technology.

Does anyone (other than the companies above) really care at this point?

My September 2008 Research on Enterprise Mobility

I've decided to share with you some more insight into what I do when I am NOT blogging on this site.  Here's a list of research I wrote in the past month at Strategy Analytics.

• The Global Financial Crisis' Impact on Business Mobility
• Current and Future Trends in Business Mobility
• Business Mobility Solutions Mid-Year Review and 2009 Outlook
• Succeeding in the Mobile Marketplace: Revisiting Existing Competitive Frameworks

My thought was I would start doing this on a monthly basis.  Hope you all find it of value.
