More and more businesses these days are allowing personal devices into the workplace; they are viewing BYOD devices as a way to improve productivity across the company. Mobile devices present a means to help manage operations and quickly respond to or deliver a quality service to customers while outside the office or after working hours.
Enterprise mobility has become an integral part of any company strategy. It’s been the inventive means to increase the productivity and efficiency of the mobile work force—so employees can do their jobs on the go, from anywhere and at any time, when traveling or working off-site—while simultaneously reducing operating costs for the company.
According to Gartner's (News - Alert) View of Enterprise Mobility research and analysis reports, the mobile application deployments and usage are expected to grow. This is also shown in overall market trends that reveal steady increases in sales of consumer and company mobile devices. Consequently, this has application development initiatives going forward as well.
Gartner's prediction on the future of enterprise mobility is that it will grow in the coming times and will help improve sales, B2C communications, services, and more. Mobile devices will also continue to impact the business world.
Companies like OpenXcell Technolabs, a consulting company for enterprise mobility holds the prestigious ISO 9001:2008 certification providing Enterprise Mobility Service solutions and Enterprise App development for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that want to effortlessly share valuable information with employees, suppliers and customers.
OpenXcell Technolabs have been able to target industries like e-commerce (offering websites with magento for enterprises) and provide SMEs with mobile solutions and software to boost communication and data access methods while providing a significant return on investment (ROI) for customers.
Last week, news about the consulting company redefining its enterprise mobility services, strategy & consulting was released. OpenXcell has proved itself as a worthy application developer in the western region in India by having won the 6th GESIA award for best software company; the company is now using its technical know-how to become a consulting company for global clients interested in enterprise mobility solutions.
This move will allow the company to take advantage of the market created by the increase of corporate investments in enterprise mobility. SMEs have been embracing handheld devices for business operations and application service delivery, in addition to interacting with people and conducting commerce on-the-go.
Organizations have been making third-party applications as well as back-end custom apps accessible through mobile devices to handle all of the voice and data needs of its enterprise.
Many CIOs are viewing enterprise mobility as a top investment priority and are exploiting the opportunities of mobile commerce to achieve organizational goals like keeping the business running smoothly and successfully.
As Cognizant (News - Alert) Mobility & SMAC analyst Kevin Benedict mentioned recently in a post on MobileEnterpriseStrategies.com, “enterprise mobility is about the eight Rs - getting the right information, to the right person, at the right time, in the right place, in the right amount, on the right device, in the right format so they can make right decisions…”
Increasing usage of smartphone and tablets (as well as enterprise softphones that continues to gain in popularity) has allowed end users access to critical business information when they need it, said the technology and business consulting firm, IT Strategists. Such devices have also made it easier to reach out to clients and business partners in a timely manner. According to this consulting firm, “by allowing mobile, instant communication and access, enterprise mobility improves productivity through providing the information the moment it is needed.”
