Key findings from a commissioned study conducted by IDC, sponsored by OpenMarket, revealed the unstructured approach that organizations are taking with mobile messaging, as 62% of businesses have more than one messaging platform deployed, and 78.5% have more than one of the same use case active across different departments. This disjointed strategy is especially problematic for today’s enterprises, as 75% demand payback on these initiatives in less than a year.
