The value that mobility brings to an enterprise is becoming more obvious as mobile devices exceed the boundaries of handheld email. It's difficult to imagine how an enterprise can not benefit from real-time access to information. The question is not whether enterprise mobility is desired, but when, where, and how it’s deployed. A well-crafted and well-implemented mobile strategy can guarantee that you get the maximum return out of your investment in mobile IT over the long term. Using a mobile strategy, an enterprise can expect regular and significant benefits in productivity, response time, and operational efficacy. Complementary to these benefits, an enterprise mobility strategy should ensure:
• The ever-changing technology landscape doesn't result in investments becoming redundant.
• The existing application infrastructure can be leveraged to provide mobile solutions.
• Mobilization doesn't affect the performance of existing critical enterprise applications.
• Development of custom applications specifically suited to the organization becomes easier.
• A competitive advantage is sustained.
A fundamental step in developing a mobile strategy is performing a mapping exercise between the organization's business goals and IT requirements. This is primarily done to identify target applications for the mobilization initiative. From the IT point of view, mobilization should be regarded as enabling another means of information access and collaboration, not something that is independent and distinct from the existing IT infrastructure. Enterprise mobile applications utilize the same IT infrastructure serving other non-mobilized enterprise applications. Gauging the mobile readiness of the IT infrastructure is absolutely essential to the success of any mobilization initiative. Besides evaluating messaging capabilities, remote access options, connectivity, security, and integration, the readiness assessment should also examine the current proliferation of mobile devices within the enterprise. Existing mobile users can provide significant valuable input regarding the usability and effectiveness of mobile devices. The mobile IT strategy needs to guide overall IT infrastructure development in such a way that enterprise services can be easily extended to a mobile computing paradigm. Mobile middleware needs to be implemented allowing access to enterprise-wide services independent of any mobile device. This middleware also provides effective mechanisms for device management and access control. Once the infrastructure is in place, enterprise-wide access to messaging and other services becomes a reasonable, obvious proposition.
