Over fifty percent of CIO’s and IT
professionals believe mobility will
impact their organizations as much
or more than the internet did in the
1990’s.
“It has become appallingly obvious,
Albert Einstein once observed, that
our technology has exceeded our
humanity.” If that’s how the
legendary 20th century physicist
perceived technology in his day, then
you can only wonder what he’d make
of the vast ubiquitous presence of
mobile technology today. Indeed,
it’s difficult to think of how we
functioned as a society before
smartphones, tablets and other
devices emerged as mainstream tools.
CIO’s and other managers, of course,
have much at stake here. As reported
previously, more and more
organizations are carefully examining
their mobile strategies. They want to
ensure that their employees have the
most productive, user-friendly tools
at their disposal to further business
goals. And they view mobility as a
critical pathway toward greater
customer connectivity and
engagement. Given this, we present
