Mobile Technology is easily defined as technology that
makes it possible to work from anywhere, anytime. People have become more and
more comfortable with and reliant upon digital communications solutions,
including the mobile phone. When considering the utilization of mobile
technology in the enterprise, one must take in account that:
-
There are now more mobile phone subscribers in the world (1.4 billion) than
there are landline phone subscribers. The mobile phone is becoming a primary
means of communication, not only for voice but also for digital services,
e-mail, digital photos, navigation, etc. Worldwide over 350 billion text
messages, also known as SMS messages, are exchanged across the world’s mobile
networks every month.
-
Mobile Sales Solutions alone will constitute a nearly $1 billion market by the
end of 2006.
-
Worldwide, mobile workers number 60 million, or about 40% of the professional
workforce.

Leading early adopters of mobile technology include pharmaceutical and
high-tech manufacturing companies, with insurance, retail, real estate, and
consumer packaged goods industries making up the second rank.
