Despite the growing need for a comprehensive enterprise mobility management (EMM) strategy, many companies cite struggling with “the tail wagging the dog” instead. In a recent survey conducted by IDC on behalf of mobility firm Kony, statistics clearly indicate varied levels of success being achieved by companies with fragmented mobile strategies versus those with enterprise-wide strategies. Of more than 400 IT professionals responsible for driving enterprise mobility decisions,
84% claim departments and business units are individually implementing mobile strategy rather than developing a consistent, company-wide strategy.
Yet, 93% of companies with an enterprise-led approach rated their success with mobile deployments higher than companies with a business unit-led or departmental-led approach.
Nearly 40% cite security and compliance issues as a mobility challenge, the most of any response choice.
Roughly 50% of organizations using a mobile solution named the following benefits as critical for improving business: smarter, faster decision-making, improved organizational efficiency, cost savings, better customer interaction and increased revenue.
Without standards regulating mobile device management and usage, mobility policies and procedures, and configuration and security management, it is nearly impossible for companies to leverage the opportunities associated with mobility. For those that choose to make the strategic investment in an EMM solution, competitive advantages abound that can also positively impact the bottom line.
