Wherever you look, the mobile revolution is apparent in our lives. It’s having an equal effect on the enterprise. Whether it’s data from machines and mobile devices pouring into corporate data stores or information flowing out to users, mobility has cut the strings that once tied users and data to the desktop. Mobility has changed the way applications are built and distributed, and it has reinvented the relationship between users, information and technology.

Many companies have developed a “mobile strategy,” but are consistently blindsided by how quickly that strategy needs to change. A mobile-ready website and some purpose-built apps were good enough just a few years ago. Now a policy to govern the use of personal devices for work seems basic. Others are finding that allowing mobility to penetrate the enterprise organically fosters innovation, but only in the near term.

Mobility solves the “last-mile problem” of innovation, putting the power of applications and information directly into the hands of users.
