Enterprise Wireless & Mobile

iGR’s Enterprise Wireless and Mobile Service examines the “what, why and how” driving large businesses’ implementations of wireless and mobile applications. The reports and briefs delivered by the service focus on the ongoing, and forecasted, usage of wireless devices, networks and applications by mobile workers, companies’ business partners, vendors and customers, as well as the challenges faced and the benefits gained from those implementations.

Enterprise IT Manager Survey: annual survey of IT managers in large companies that have deployed wireless and mobile solutions, from a range of vertical industries.

Mobile Worker Survey: annual survey of mobile workers (those out of the office 20 percent or more of the time) in a range of vertical industries. All interviewees work for large companies that have deployed wireless and mobile applications and solutions.

The small, medium and large business market is the nexus of a great many strategic plans. Mobile operators, mobile device manufacturers, enterprise equipment OEMs, value added resellers, systems integrators and independent software vendors are all intensely interested in creating a self-fueling wireless ecosystem built around the needs of the enterprise wireless end user – the mobile worker.

Selling wireless/mobile products and services into large businesses means understanding the confluence of numerous factors:

  • The current and forecasted size of the wireless enterprise market, in terms of the total number of mobile workers and mobile workers per sector.
  • The different types of mobile workers and wireless application and device usage profiles.
  • How much enterprises spend on wireless technology overall and by sector.
  • What businesses are doing with wireless across industry sectors.
  • What businesses are looking for in terms of wireless solutions and how those needs will change over time.
  • How the use of wireless will change as networks, software, equipment and devices improve.
  • What wireless technologies are hot now and which ones will be pivotal down the road.

iGR has researched – and continues to provide research and analysis – in all of these areas.
