Mobile computing today has become an integral part of the corporate network, which has rapidly spilled over its physical boundaries to encompass teleworkers, road warriors and even connections to partners and clients. With mobile computing having become such a major part of networking, establishing secure remote access has become a high priority.
Mobile solutions: Using mobile handheld devices to connect to corporate email and application servers, allow mobile workers to be more responsive, stay collaboratively informed, and leverage corporate data with greater flexibility than what is possible with desktop and notebook PCs.
Companies looking to provide a more convenient connectivity method for their mobile workforces and take control/manage the proliferation of mobile devices in their organization should consider sever-based mobile solutions.
Tangible benefits of mobile solutions came in the form of:
- Better quality of work life resulting in less employee turnover
- Efficient management of mobile devices.
- Greater security of mobile data and mobile access
- Reduced costs from pulling back notebook computers that were used primarily for email
- Reduction of remote access service calls
