How employees will use their phones

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.
