Enterprise mobility, the ability to access corporate data and applications from anywhere, is one of the fastest growing trends in corporate IT. Significant cost-efficiencies, productivity gains and organizational benefits are driving the rapid adoption of mobility as part of initiatives such as: Facility consolidation, Tele-work, Business Continuity, Virtual office, Office Anywhere, Work from Home, Remote Access, Remote Connectivity, Desktop Replacement, Mobile Broadband and Wi-Fi Deployments.

Analysts estimate that within three years, 70% of the global workforce will be leveraging mobility solutions. The vast majority of these mobile workers are knowledge workers using laptops for remote access to mission critical data and applications, through a multitude of public, private, wired and wireless networks.

The failure of enterprise mobility initiatives is a result of cost overruns, security liabilities and a lack of flexibility or ability to enable “access anywhere” for end users. For a mobility initiative to succeed, all three competing objectives; cost, security and flexibility, must be attained.

To achieve these competing requirements, without compromise, organizations require mobile policies.
