The implementation of mobility solutions requires companies to build capability and strategy to synthesize many different components including devices, networks, applications and their services as well as the middleware to interface these components. The rapidly changing device and technology landscape has made senior management consider thinking, strategizing and building an enterprise mobility strategy and roadmap before making any technology investment. A right strategy not only provides strategic advantage to organizations considering implementing mobility but also helps them in optimizing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of mobile implementation.
These are some of the mobility touch-points that organizations need to ponder before they start envisioning mobile solutions.
- Are the key mobility vision, needs and goals? ROI and Value?
- Mobile application possibilities?
- Can be mobile enabled?
- Are our priorities and budget? - Short, Medium and Long Term
- Are mobility ternds and best practices?
- Are mobility processes and organization to be put in place?
- Right to venture?
- To implement?
- To invest in and off the shelf solution?
- Do we get our ROI?
- Are our mobile users?
- Is in our value chain?
- Are other participents in mobile implementation?
- Competition and what are they doing?
- Mobility leaders, skills and people in the organization?
- Who would articulate, desing, develop, deploy and support solution?
- Devices should we procure and support?
- MEAP and device managementplatforms should we procure?
- tools should we procure for mobile enablement?
- Do we endure security?
- Distribute application?
- Provising devices, applications and users?
- Do we decide to build or to buy?
- To optimize TCO for mobile implementation?
- To retrain and skill enable our current workforce?
Mobile Opportunity Assessment (MOA)
Endeavour – The Mobility Company has helped several fortune 500 companies as well as billion dollar brands as strategic mobility advisors in building their enterprise mobility strategy and implementation roadmaps. This is done through our three step specialized assessment process called Mobile Opportunity Assessment (MOA).
MOA helps organizations identifying opportunities where value of Mobility can be unleashed and building a mobility vision and a roadmap based on their organizational goals.
"The most important thing that we have learned and what we hope to communicate in this roadmap, is that mobility is a powerful business paradigm—but only by addressing people, processes, and technology in a balanced way can we leverage it’s significant business benefits."
