Analysts Concur: Enterprise Mobility and LBS
• “Between 2004 and 2009, 65% of enterprises will deploy wireless applications to their mobile-oriented workforce (e.g., sales, services, delivery, etc).” -- Meta
• “By 2010, 80% of key business processes will involve the exchange of real-time information involving mobile workers.” -- Gartner
• “IS organizations spent up to 5% of their budget on mobile applications in 2003; this percentage will double by 2007.” -- Gartner
• “Total revenue garnered from these services may exceed $3.6 billion by the end of the decade. The largest segment of this will be enterprise services, used to track employees and assets in the field.” -- ABI Research
How is LBS used?
• Managing assets, machines• Remote asset management• Asset tracking/RFID• Device management
• Managing people• Workforce Mobility solutions• Field sales/services automation
• Managing both• Integrated fleet management/intelligent transportation
• Reaching beyond the enterprise• Emerging Broadband Wireless• Citywide or enhanced campus communications
Which companies use LBS?
• Installation Services• Large field service force over wide geographic area• Requires efficient dispatch and routing• Schedule changes over course of the day
• Inspection Services• Similar to above but field force often needs driver assistance
• Repair Services• Most dynamic as routes are often new to drivers, emergency calls
frequently added throughout day
• Emergency Dispatch• Key to customer satisfaction, business reputation, lifesaving• Benefits: finding remote site quickly, sending closest resource,
having constant access to location of mobile resources

Announced Network Enhancements Increase the “Power” of Mobility
As data speeds increase, the enterprise’s opportunity to realize the benefits of mobility skyrockets, resulting in more complex wireless deployments, consumption
of more wireless services and requiring new management situations.
