Enterprise Mobility Solutions: High Cost Cited as no 1 Barrier to Securing Sign Off for Investment

LONDON, August 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The Enterprise Mobility Exchange Network releases results of industry benchmarking survey:

• 76% of enterprise mobility practitioners highlight cost as most significant barrier to investment in new solutions
• 86% value product demos above all when selecting a new solution provider
• Improving workforce productivity is main driver behind mobility initiatives for 38% mobility practitioners

The Enterprise Mobility Exchange recently surveyed their global network of mobility practitioners to uncover the key drivers behind investments in mobile technology and to understand more about their interactions with solution provider partners.

38% of industry leaders cited improving workforce productivity as the overarching objective of their mobility projects, while over three quarters (76%) confirmed that cost of new solutions poses a significant barrier to investing in new technology.

When asked to highlight one thing that they wish suppliers did, but don't, 29% stated that they would like to see more product demos and trials on offer to help them select new solutions.

Julia Mansell, Head of Production, Enterprise Mobility Exchange, commented on the results: "This survey provides fascinating insight into the reasons why enterprises are investing in mobile technology, as well as some compelling calls to action for all solution providers out there looking to help these companies deliver best-in-breed workforce productivity, customer service and operational efficiency. I look forward to discussing this with our network at our next Enterprise Mobility Exchange in November in Las Vegas".
