Many organizations are unprepared for the mobile future. The vast majority of knowledge workers own smartphones, and they regularly use them to access apps like Evernote, Dropbox, and Box A recent study by Workshare found that 65 percent of smartphone users at financial institutions use their devices to access file-sharing apps that aren’t approved by their IT departments. There are three major trends…brewing in the enterprise that could be solved with innovative mobile software:
-Web infrastructures will not be able to cope with mobile demands
-Mobile device management will grow into mobile data management
-Non-techies will get mobilized
Companies now know they must adapt to a mobile and cloud world; those that don’t will simply fall behind and fade away. I’m always eager to champion entrepreneurs that have come up with innovative solutions to a specific mobile enterprise challenge.
