Aberdeen Group Research: More mobility with less budget



According to a new Aberdeen Group  research report, Best-in-Class companies over the prior 24 month period

 

  • increased the number of employees included in their mobility initiative by 44%.
  • employee productivity by 36%.
  • have grew the number of mobile devices in full compliance with IT mandates by 33%.

 

Despite the global economic downturn, or perhaps in part because of it, the enterprise demand for mobility has remained steady or even increased. However, mobility initiative budgets have not; in fact capital equipment budgets are being cut dramatically, and operating expense budgets are being scrutinized and reduced wherever possible. This study reports how Best-in-Class companies - those that are performing in the top 20% across multiple metrics - are managing to maintain or increase their level of mobility support while their budgets are being cut.
