How to refine your strategy to extend mobility in your organization.

As an IT manager or influencer/decision maker about the IT solutions deployed in your organization, you are aware of the momentous shift toward new mobile technologies. If the majority of the employees in your organization are still tethered to their desks by the requirement to do most of their work at a PC, it's probably time to think about enabling at least some of them to become mobile; by doing so, you'll also enable your organization to capitalize on the benefits of a workforce that can be connected and productive anywhere, anytime.

But while considering the potential return on investment of a mobile deployment, you also need to give careful consideration to who to mobilize (which roles or functions in the organization), what to mobilize (i.e., which productivity applications and enterprise systems) and how to mobilize (what management, security and support systems and processes need to be in place?).

This e-book provides:

• An overview of the risks and benefits of a mobile workforce
• Components of a mobile infrastructure (for those with less experience with mobile deployments)
• Categories of mobile workers to help you define your user profiles and their requirements
• Key considerations when considering networks, devices, applications, device management, security and support requirements

Download this e-book and learn how to refine your strategy to extend mobility in your organization.
