Analysts from Forrester made a report called “Predictions 2010: Enterprise Mobility Accelerates Again,” and here is the main ideas of it.
The major operators will increase 4G network investments and a big attention will be drawn towards business and vertical applications for those who are interested in having much faster download speeds and reduced latencies
Such applications as machine-to-machine will be offered by major mobile carriers. Consumer M2M applications will be able to cover tracking of appliances, homes and enterprises.
10% of the mobile device market will be Android mobile devices in 2010. It will happen so because of “heavy industry support” from such carriers as Verizon, Motorola and Google.
Moreover around 15% of non-mobile employees will influence on IT in order it can support their mobile devices for working.
Mobile “app stores” will serve as a main software distribution channel for small-medium businesses. The owners of smartphones who have app store access will be able to surf, buy, download and use a range of tools among them staff approval, expense management and other applications.
In order to maintain the growth in mobile users, devices, and data, IT will increase mobility services based on cloud.
It is also expected that enterprise mobility vendors, particularly application vendors will keep on margin and quit business.
