IDC forecasts
that the business mobile component in Australia's
enterprise mobility market will be worth
in excess of A$5.5 billion by 2011, at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%
(6.9%) during the forecast period.
Enterprise mobility spending also includes
other key technology solutions markets,
such as hardware, software, and IT services.
Enterprise
Mobility is commonly defined as the
process of extending business processes
/ applications / solutions through the use
of wireless technology, which can be Wireless
LAN (WLAN), cellular / mobile, or other
technologies, such as Wireless Broadband
(WiMAX). Enterprise mobility allows employees
to gain access to business communications
and applications while on the go, including
emails and databases, using a mobile device,
such as a data-capable mobile phone, wireless
PDA, or laptop computer.

Companies choose mobile applications to
improve productivity and to offer greater
flexibility to their employees. Continued
advancements in mobile and wireless technologies
— from improved wireless networks
and security, to an exploding range of mobile
devices and mobility solutions — enable
companies to extend traditionally, office-bound
corporate resources to their mobile workforce.
"By understanding the unique needs
and expectations of organisations, mobile
services and IT solutions providers addressing
a tangible return, improved cost efficiencies,
and a high level of manageability will have
universal appeal among organisations irrespective
of their unique industries or size of operations,"
says
Jerson Yau, Analyst for Wireless & Mobility
Research, IDC Australia.
Convergence heralds the dawn of futuristic
solutions today, and have progressed from
the drawing board to the field with alarming
alacrity. Some of the futuristic solutions
that generate the most interest and questions
are:
| • |
Unified Communications
(UC) - the provisioning of a common
infrastructure to deliver, manage, and
support a range of communications applications
which are accessible through a user's
desktop or mobile environment. |
| • |
Mobility
management suites - IT-centric and carrier-centric
solutions are increasingly converging,
allowing either the business organisation
or the telco to host, manage, and provision
mobile applications solutions to the
end user. These can include mobile email,
intranet/extranet application access,
security services, and over-the-air
(OTA) device and user policy management. |
| • |
Fixed-Mobile
Convergence (FMC) - the integration
of landline and mobile/wireless technologies
and services to create a single telecommunications
network that ultimately offers a consistent
service regardless of a user's location,
access technology, and terminal. |
| • |
Dual-mode
devices and GPS - the integration of
multiple radio transceivers on a device
to allow a user to connect to any public
or private network, ultimately enabling
FMC. In addition, GPS integration will
increasingly become commonplace on mobile
devices allowing real-time, two-way
user manipulation of location-based
digital content. |
