Mobility Changes the Business Game

Mobility Changes the Business Game

With technology becoming more mobile, the way we interact with tech has changed considerably. Now that dial-up has evolved to broadband and cellular networks have dramatically improved, technology has allowed people to become more connected than ever. Your business can improve its communications and operations with the right mobile technology.

The Mobility Boom

Mobile devices are popular for two reasons: portability and versatility.

People love devices that can function similarly to a computer without being tethered to a physical location. These devices are excellent tools for media consumption, and businesses have leveraged this fact to reach potential buyers. Furthermore, the vast array of apps available on the app store means that individuals can find a solution that works perfectly for their specific needs, whether for banking or shopping.

All in all, it’s estimated that mobile technology has been the single greatest contributing factor to the growth of the digital economy (a value of around $1.5 trillion in the United States alone).

Mobile Computing Takes Center Stage

Smartphones really started to take off in the mid-2000s, and both business and consumer technology has never been the same since.

This is due in part to social media. People of all ages use these platforms in their personal and professional lives, whether for distraction or to connect with buyers. Furthermore, with so many apps being available across mobile technology and desktops, many organizations are turning to the cloud to solve the evergreen problem of accessibility.

On the business front, too, workers can take full advantage of a unified experience—regardless of which device the user prefers.

How to Leverage Mobility for Business Growth

If you can address the significant security risks associated with mobile devices, they can be used to great effect.

For example, you can implement solutions such as lock screens, regular software updates, and separate personal and work data to ensure your business’ assets are secure, even on mobile devices. It can be expensive to commit funds to purchase devices for your entire workforce, which is why Bring Your Own Device is such a popular strategy. Since employees use their own devices for work purposes, you don’t have to worry about providing them with business-bought devices.

If you plan to go the BYOD route, we recommend you have a solid strategy in place that takes into account secure passwords, remote device management, and software updates/patches so you can rest easy knowing your infrastructure is safe.
