Highlights

Datamonitor's Technology Trends survey of 800 IT managers reveals that enterprises have been relatively slow in the uptake of mobility technologies in comparison with other core enterprise technologies. However penetration is set to increase as enterprises realise the benefits of mobility solutions and invest accordingly. Nordic enterprises currently have the highest penetration of mobility solutions with 74% having currently deployed some form of mobility technology. Datamonitor is not surprised by this result given the Nordics' propensity to invest in the latest technologies and the high degree of local expertise in mobility technology. Both HP and IBM are viewed as leaders in mobility solutions having been selected by 70% of those surveyed. This stems in large part from their services capabilities; they both have a breadth of expertise and offer a range of packaged solutions.
