How you view your employees and their knowledge will determine the success of your implementation…

‘Economists, said John Maynard Keynes, should think of themselves as humble specialists, on a par with dentists. But his advice has gone unheeded.

Mobile Strategy for Small Business: It’s About Local Convenience

Small businesses are an under served market in mobility. We constantly hear about the importance of small businesses to our economies, yet today few would argue that this sector is properly served and serviced from a mobility standpoint.

Collection of tiny mobile apps for your iPhone (or my Personalized Enterprise Gateway)

New to me … but probably old to you (remember I don’t use an iPhone in everyday life).  It took me back to some of the projects I have worked on before and the ever present need of providing relevant information to our mobile users/workers.

More Mobility … Less Budget

The title of this post comes from a google search that brought someone to this blog this morning.  I found it interesting so I did a similar search… and of course it references the Aberdeen Group study which we mentioned here previously.  Not sure if the actual search came from the Aberdeen themselves to see [...]

Enterprise Mobility – one or many device manufacturers?

We hear from device manufacturers that the enterprise should stick with one solution.  That message makes sense coming from them…  They want you to have only one provider.  However, a lot of the commentary out there (from research analysts to the end of the long tail) tell us that we should have variety; some have [...]
