ResearchAndMarkets.com has introduced its new report titled “WFH & Mobility Infrastructure Policy Bundle,” which delves into the evolving landscape of mobile computing, remote work trends, and the challenges faced by organizations in managing mobile devices and data security.
- Mobile Computing Trends:
The report highlights the growing use of mobile devices, with smartphones and tablets becoming integral tools in the workplace. Employees are increasingly demanding the use of these devices for work, mirroring their personal usage patterns. - Challenges in Mobility Implementation:
Companies face challenges in implementing mobility computing, including device management, connectivity, application support, and data security. The report emphasizes the need for clear mobility policies to address these challenges. - Policy Implementation:
Despite the importance of mobility policies, only one in five organizations have them defined and implemented. Large firms are more likely to have mobility policies in place compared to smaller to mid-sized firms. - Device Expenditures:
CIOs are investing in a range of devices, with capital expenditures focused on tablets and smartphones. The report suggests that the “post-laptop” era does not mean the disappearance of laptops but rather the coexistence of smartphones, tablets, and laptops to cater to diverse computing needs. - IT Support for Mobile Computing:
IT help desks need to allocate more resources to handle mobile computing issues, especially for remote workers who lack in-person support. The report emphasizes the importance of policies and performance metrics for effective IT support. - Security Concerns:
Security remains a major concern for CIOs, with over two-thirds identifying it as the largest risk in mobility strategies. Lost or stolen devices and unauthorized applications pose significant security threats to corporate data.
