Scope

Analyses the current uptake of mobility technologies and forthcoming plans for investment in Western Europe and North America.

Looks at influential positions within enterprises for making investment decisions and enterprises opinions on leaders within the mobility market.

Highlights

By comparing the adoption of enterprise mobility from Datamonitor's Technology Trends surveys in 2006 and 2007, it is clear that penetration has increased. Adoption has reached 40% for the key solutions, mobile management, applications and security, whilst telematics remains at a lower level due to its specialist nature. Adoption of mobility also varies greatly between the different industries from 43% in education to 67% in the retail banking sector. This is unsurprising due to the varying IT budgets by industry and the specialist nature of mobility technologies which means they are only useful for certain sectors. Unsurprisingly larger enterprises have a higher penetration of enterprise mobility which is due to their larger IT budgets and often a greater knowledge of available solutions. However, market growth appears to be slowing in this market with penetration only set to grow a couple of percentage points for enterprises with over 10,000 employees.
