More than ever, innovations in the consumer marketplace are driving innovations in the workplace.
Employees want to use social applications and mobile devices to collaborate with colleagues,
clients, and business partners -- just like they do with family and friends outside the
office.
In the workplace, social networking and collaboration provide significant business advantages by
speeding up communications and transactions. But they also introduce new privacy and security
requirements -- requirements that demand an enterprise-grade collaboration solution.
The IBM Global IT Study on Mobile Infrastructure found that organizations leading the way in
enterprise mobility are two times more likely to grow revenue by at least ten percent. These
Mobile Technology Leaders are also five times more likely to implement Unified Communications
for mobile.
Unified Communications brings together voice, video, social tools, and devices so employees
can collaborate with business associates anywhere, in real or near-real time. Forrester Research
reports that the business value of connecting mobile processes to Unified Communications
is so clear, that many business leaders are deploying Unified Communications on mobile
devices even before fixed devices.
The IBM study also reported that Mobile Technology Leaders say that it's difficult to go it
alone. Eighty-six percent believe that external IT services providers can help them reach
their mobility goals faster. This is because building and managing an in-house infrastructure to
support mobile can be complex and expensive.
