The use of workforce mobility and wireless communication can help organisations move ahead in the new economy.
Security has been touted as a key concern when it comes to mobilising the enterprise. WLANs are already being deployed in many organisations, some limited to parts of the network, others to the entire network. The proliferation of Wi-Fi networks is increasing in many third world countries where organisations have installed Wi-Fi equipment to have their employees connected.
However, enterprise mobility goes beyond Wi-Fi. It is estimated that 30-40 percent of corporate information like e-mail and databases are found in mobile devices such as smart phones and not necessarily laptops. The mobile subscription by business and corporate users across the region is growing. As with any new technology or solution, it is important to match the users’ requirements with the benefits and limitations of the solution.
Is Mobility Right?
It is believed there are various areas to look into before deciding if mobility is right for your organisation and how to best implement it to optimise returns. The first one being infrastructure, that is to have a stock check on what or who needs mobility and where.
The next one being quality management, which includes trials, documentation of processes, reports on usage, to identify problems, benefits to measure against expectations and goals for further improvements and modifications.
This is followed by security. It is important to have multi-layered security checks, especially in case of remote access and guest log-ins. The organisation also needs to have adequate and well-measured standards for future proofing and scalability. With various solutions available in the marketplace today, it is important to know which standard works best for which application, users, and locations.
Equally crucial are applications and support. Organisations need to see how anytime, anywhere mobility can be properly executed.
Multiple Technologies
There are a lot of multimode, multi-standards, multi-technologies riding on client devices, applications, networks. It is therefore important to have a sort of technology monitoring to be able to give a transparent handover to the users.
Generally, business users expect immediate contact with others when the need arises. Hence, the strong desire for anytime, anywhere communications.
The survey also showed that across the region, the largest number of respondents cited that business meeting was the most important thing they have missed for not being able to call or e-mail sometimes, followed by a customer query. In addition, missing an important contract or new business was also cited by a good proportion of the respondents.
So far, the most common applications being deployed over mobile infrastructure is mobile e-mail. Mobile e-mail, therefore, no surprise has the highest penetration among all applications. Today Mobile Email has become an integral part of business. The access to corporate emails on mobile phone greatly helps businesses’ to improve communication as well as productivity level of their organization.
The primary function of mobile email solution is to facilitate the user to send, receive, compose, delete and view attachments via a mobile device. However various email solutions differ in the way they do so, which in turn depends upon the underlying mail servers, the ease with which they can be deployed in an organization, the cost factor and the mobile services with which they will work effectively .

Today some organizations have come up with such cost effective email solutions like email@mobile Corporate edition which has been specifically designed for those organizations who would like to provide its employees with the facility of accessing their corporate/official emails on the mobile but do not want to invest in purchasing high end mobile phones like PDAs and smart Phones or in paying monthly subscription charges and giving their server access to a third party.
“Traditionally, some of the industries are already deploying these applications given the impracticality of wired infrastructure. However, the difference now is the move towards standards-based technologies and solutions”.
The best way to judge whether companies walk the talk, is the amount they have budgeted or plan to spend on mobile solutions. Secondly it is important to ensure that these same functionalities and resources are made available to mobile workers, while they are on the road or telecommuting
