Today, the term mobility in enterprise is not limited to managing mobile devices and assets. Rather, adaptability, flexibility, versatility, and standardization have entered the enterprise mobility equation, thereby giving rise to the saying ‘workforce mobility is increasing’. Naturally, it goes without mentioning that the popularity and ubiquity of mobile devices along with adaptable policies, such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) have positively triggered the enterprise mobility landscape transformation. In the past couple of years, more portable and suitable devices with the latest features like internet connection, online transactions, and app-based sharing have gained popularity among the workforce.

Likewise, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G are making waves in the enterprise mobility area. AI-powered speech and facial recognition, and voice-assisted virtual assistants help employees to access information easily, work past security issues, and have higher work flexibility as well as agility. On the other hand, the introduction of 5G is promised to bring down the network latency and contribute to speedy communications. Besides, when integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) and other mobile devices, the 5G network is expected to potentially transform the business connectivity within enterprises.

In the current issue of CIOReview, we are highlighting many such transformations occurring in the enterprise mobility landscape, along with the enterprises that are making their mark in this area. We are glad to present 20 Most Promising Enterprise Mobility Solution Providers 2019 that are undisputedly working toward bringing their clients mobility infrastructure at par with the latest market standards.

The global enterprise mobility services market has touched new heights owing to industry trends such as a hike in the number of enterprises outsourcing mobility services, migration to the cloud, and the rise in the adoption of BYOD. As organizations are continually working on improving their mobility strategies, third-party mobility service providers rendering services for better productivity, team collaboration, and customer engagement are gaining major traction.

The companies that leverage enterprise mobility services demonstrate improved growth rates in comparison to firms following conventional systems. The business benefits of shifting toward mobility solutions also include a reduction in the IT operations man-power and management costs and increased employee productivity. However, the lack of in-house expertise to manage the heterogeneous IT environments and the diversity in mobile products is creating a need for expert professionals. In order to bridge this gap, third-party service providers enter the picture, offering services to enhance the process efficiency and to reduce costs.
