Enterprise mobility predictions for 2011

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 Karen Ambrose Hickey, Editor

In our Mobile Workforce Report – Year End Review, we make five predictions for 2011. As we start the new year (Happy New Year!), I wanted to post them again:

• The Rise of the Mobilocracy – end users are also consumers, and have educated themselves on these new devices and on how they would like to use them in the workplace.
• Move towards individual-liable devices – companies will start to include employee-bought devices in the mobility infrastructure.
• Changes in enterprise security – less control over devices increases the need for security policies and control.
• The “trivialization of place” – where someone works is less important. What matters is that they are connected and get their work done.
• Redefining social boundaries – when do you disconnect…or do you? What’s the most effective way to get work done?

We will be covering these themes throughout the year, providing you more survey results, trends, news and opinion.

Happy New Year and happy connections!
