But many IT departments are struggling to manage this plethora of Web-enabled devices, and they're looking to mobile operators for assistance with their mobile device management (MDM) efforts, according to a recent study.
Mformation, a provider of mobile MDM technologies, commissioned market research firm Coleman Parkes to conduct the survey of 200 CIOs and telecommunications directors from U.S. and European Global Fortune 500 organizations. The research was conducted during March and April 2007.
Ninety-five percent of CIOs surveyed are currently seeking a new way to manage their mobile devices and applications. And 45 percent of those technology executives want assistance from mobile operators in managing those devices. Two thirds—62 percent—said they'd ditch their current operator for a competitor if it had a comprehensive MDM offering.
"Clearly, very real opportunities exist for mobile operators to provide value-added device management services for enterprise customers, increasing their competitive advantage," said Matt Bancroft, Mformation CMO, in a press release. "There is a significant opportunity for operators to help enterprises with the challenges and complexities associated with mobile device management."
