Communications and Computing 2009 Benchmark: Mobility

Mobility is mission critical to most organizations. In a year where most IT spending is flat or down, mobility spending is up a whopping 16%. And more companies than ever before now have mobility strategies, an 85% increase from last year. And there’s a lot of change coming down the pike: More than a third (37.5%) of organizations are assessing expanding their deployment of iPhones (significantly more than any other device). And although next-generation technologies such as long-term evolution (LTE), WiMAX, and fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) aren’t having a big impact today, they’re definitely on the radar screen for many organizations. The bottom line: Watch this space. It’ll get even more interesting over time.
