Mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, have evolved into being an essential resource for supporting enterprise workforces. Android, iOS, and BlackBerry devices dominate the mobile landscape and have significantly broadened the effectiveness of professional workers to remotely support business requirements, improving productivity, streamlining communications, and increasing opportunities for revenue generation.

But as the reliance on mobile technology has grown, new challenges in the management of portable devices have also developed requiring unique approaches to application provisioning, maintenance, security, and problem resolution.

Seeking to understand the influence and challenges of mobile devices on business institutions, EMA initiated a comprehensive research project involving in-depth surveys of both IT managers and end users.

In this one-hour Webinar, EMA Managing Research Director Steve Brasen (LinkedIn profile) reveals the results with some intriguing perspectives on how mobile devices are changing the way organizations are doing business and how IT operations are supporting workforce requirements. During this Webinar you will learn:

• Which mobile platforms are most commonly adopted by particular business sizes and industries
• Identifying the mobile device functions that are most critical to businesses
• The primary challenges associated with enterprise use of mobile devices
• Determining the areas of mobile device support that are critical to enabling workforce productivity
• Interpreting the future of mobile device utilization and management requirements

This EMA webinar provides essential information any organization needs to consider before adopting mobile device platforms and policies, as well as actionable advice on which mobile management services should be adopted both today and into the foreseeable future.
