There is a tremendous advantage to be gained from the ability to work wirelessly, be it robot that no longer needs to be tethered to a cable for communication or an executive able to work on his or her company intranet from the airport. Businesses cannot afford to ignore the advantages offered by mobile technology and this fact will become more obvious as time goes on and mobile technologies mature. Some of the opportunities that mobilising processes can bring are:

• Lowers costs
• Revenue generation
• More efficient work processes
• Better customer service
• Additional business gained from faster reaction to prospects

More flexible working arrangements for workers, allowing them to work remotely and yet be available for contact whenever needed.

When properly implemented, the ability to work wirelessly adds to the effectiveness of the real-time enterprise.

The Challenges

Recent research shows that 38% of UK small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) use technology to deploy a mobile workforce. The availability of relatively low cost mobile e-mail devices has opened up mobility technology to smaller businesses.

Enterprises are beginning to discover that although there are many opportunities to gain competitive advantage from taking their business mobile, there are challenges that they must face and overcome to exploit these opportunities.

Some of these challenges include:

• The transition to mobile networks – businesses should ensure that they are not tied to one technology solution over a long period.
• The current pricing of mobile data solutions – enterprises should ensure that they understand the pricing structure of mobile data because many tariffs are priced on data volumes rather than a flat-rate basis, as usage is hard to estimate in advance.
• The lack of organisational knowledge of mobile technologies – organisations normally do not understand what is involved in setting up or securing mobile connections and managing mobile devices; enterprises should arrange for staff training or seek advice from companies that are knowledgeable in mobile technology deployment and security.
• Choosing the right mobile and wireless solution for business needs – in addition to purely mobile technologies, complementary technologies such wireless LAN (WLAN) and Voice over IP (VOIP) have an increasing importance in the enterprise in providing potentially substantial cost savings.
