- A lack of integration between mobile technologies, processes, and user expectations
- Higher costs, help desk loads, and user complaints compared to a unified approach
- Greater security and compliance risks
- Wasted time from having to start over when initiatives are tackled in the wrong order
A process for developing an overarching strategy for enterprise mobility will provide:
- A repeatable method for adapting the organization’s approach to mobility to changing trends in mobile technology and user preferences
- Greater confidence that mobile users are outfitted with the devices and management tools that they need to perform their roles, while avoiding inefficiencies, security risks, and unnecessary costs
