I’ve prepared another HorizonWatching Trend report…this one is on Mobile Computing. I have posted a deck to Slideshare (see embedded deck at end of this post).
The slides provide an overview on the Mobile Computing trend. In the deck you will find summary information about the Mobile Computing trend along with many links to additional resources.
The Mobile Computing gold rush is in full swing. The “train has left the station”. It's hard to talk to an enterprise customer these days without getting into a discussion about Mobile.
In 2012, the shipment of smartphones and tablets is expected to exceed that of traditional personal computers, including laptops. Enterprise CIOs want to use these personal mobile devices to give better access to their internal data and processes for executives and employees, as well as enabling better purchasing and support services for their customers.
Complicating the CIO’s life are a number of factors:
- employees who wish to use their own devices and applications at work,
- executives and board of directors who want to use their own devices and applications at work
- the wide variety of devices used,
- legacy applications written for a standard desktop screen,
- application level and device management,
- cost controls, and
- maintaining security across the infrastructure.
Some key technology subtrends to watch in 2012 include Voice search and voice assistants, Location Based Services, Gaming, Event-Based Marketing, and Augmented Reality. On the horizon are applications like Mobile Video and 3D Mobile Internet. All this has implications for business processes throughout the organization. CIOs and IT leaders will want to understand how mobile fits into their organization’s unified communications strategy.
The slides provide an overview of the Mobile Computing trend. Summary information about the Mobile Computing trend is provided along with many links to additional resources. The slides are meant to be read/studied and the links are there for you to continue your learning. You may want to view the slides in slideshow mode so you can easily follow the links.

It is not surprising at all that mobile computing has become a business trend. This allows extensive collaboration and connectivity, which is primarily advantageous for small enterprises. Through its conference and content management features, the workforce is empowered despite limited budget and resources.
