"Currently most enterprise mobile use has been restricted to email, calendaring and instant messaging," said Saul Berman, VP and Chief Strategist in IBM Global Business Services. "Consider how combining mobile devices and cognitive analytics can completely transform how we work, industries operate and companies perform. Getting started with this new imperative requires leaders who can define what this journey will look like and champion a call to action."
A successful mobile initiative will allow employees to access relevant information and insights when and where needed, as well as the ability to address a critical industry pain point or create fundamental new value; weigh outcomes using analytics and data streams; and focus on leading edge features of innovative mobile devices.
According to the research, evolving to a mobile enterprise requires a solid foundation with:
- Security: Employ centralised device management and security to overcome the fragmented device platforms resulting from existing 'bring your own device' (BYOD) programmes.
- Connectivity: Minimise platform complexities introduced with 'always-on' mobile networks in conjunction with flexible architectures that can easily incorporate changing components.
- Resiliency: Design for possible failures with adequate disaster recovery and contingency plans, and align policies to business values and needs.
- Orchestration: Adopt interchangeable solutions to create efficiencies and enable both organisations and individuals to quickly combine and recombine different applications and data streams based on actual circumstances.
- Insights and Learning: Embrace intelligence produced from analytics to grow more responsive and learn on the fly, ultimately enabling predicative and prescriptive recommendations that further inform decision making.
