CXO’s Guide to Enterprise Mobility – 3

I just could not resist the temptation of giving a few more tips on implementing mobile solutions.

Q: Our ERP vendor has a mobile solution; would we be better off implementing that?
A: That is a decision that can be taken only after you have examined the ERP vendor’s mobile solution with respect to your requirements. A vendor who specializes in mobile solutions would probably be more agile than an ERP vendor, in meeting your dynamically changing mobility requirements.

Q: What is the single biggest issue encountered when implementing mobile solutions?
A: The biggest issue is lack of management focus. Day-to-day operations tend to divert the attention of senior management from a mobility project, because mobility projects are often considered “nice to have” but not essential.

Q: How do we rapidly implement mobile solutions?
A: A senior manager vested with authority should be made responsible for implementing a mobile solution. This person should be dedicated for the job and should have the backing of the company’s leadership.
