Mobility is a requirement for today's enterprise. For both busy executives and knowledge workers throughout the organization, the ability to pick up and move down the hall, to the other side of town or across the ocean, has become more commonplace. And it is beyond simple presence at alternate locations - executives need to take their data, core applications and critical business processes along with them in order to be service oriented and competitive. The economic benefits for this mobility has been demonstrated in employee productivity, reduced real estate costs and preferred employee lifestyles. Companies have succeeded in capturing the benefits of mobility solutions while ceding to the corporate mantra of “do more with less”.
The good news is that technology has met the mobility challenge. The pervasiveness of wireless networks, remote access connectivity and hand-held devices is a demonstration of technology's success. And there lies the challenge for today's information architects - with broad adoption of mobility applications, technology providers are continuing to enhance features, security and form factors. Hardware and systems that are state-of-the-art today are obsolete 12-18 months later. And it is a full-time job to stay current with the latest technologies as they evolve.
- adopting new technologies when they have been proven with other organizations of similar size and usage.
- - wireless networks have become targets for security attacks – we make sure that the latest steps have been taken to protect your network
-
keep technology vendors in check to assure that what you need to purchase is truly needed and determining when existing systems need to be replaced.
