Are Enterprises adopting Mobile Solutions?

Mobility is the talk of the town and anything about mobility gets people excited. But are mobile solutions really getting adopted amongst enterprises? Out of 20 CEOs of mid-sized enterprises I discussed mobility with, 19 got genuinely interested in what it could do for their companies. They were convinced that mobile solutions for their field workers could improve productivity and customer relationships. They were convinced that it was the way to go for their companies. Six months later when I checked with some of them and asked on how their mobility projects were progressing, I found that none had even made plans for implementing mobile solutions. When asked why, the answer was either that they would do so after their existing core systems had stabilized (ever heard of a stabilized system?) or that they did not know where or how to begin.

  1. Most of the enterprise solutions in india are implemented by service based companies. I will not say solutions, they are actually some implementations of well know ERPs. And these ERPs prime focus is ERPs, not mobile solutions. Service based companies are not mobile focused, and they are not into creating any solutions. Hence you will not find mobile solutions for enterprises.
