Mobility represents one of the fastest-growing line items on most IT budgets today, as a rising number of employees request and receive an increasing range of mobile services. Nemertes strongly recommends companies consciously define a mobility strategy and policies to align deployment and procurement practices with business goals.
Success with a mobility strategy requires IT decision-makers to first evaluate their environment, define a plan for optimizing and improving on that state, and then define and (quantify) the desired state. To create effective policies, IT leaders must develop user profiles and integrate mobility effectively within an overall communications procurement strategy.
