Yes, we ARE passionate about mobile gadgets and the overall mobile industry. Furthermore, we love listening to the stories of organizations and individuals improving their life thanks to the new mobile lifestyle — after all, our very own Stefan now works from Finland, the place he always wanted to visit.
So, it shouldn’t be surprising to you how the following numbers from a just-published Nemertes Research benchmark “Building the Successful Virtual Workplace” sound sweet to our ears:
- Enterprises are poised to expand their wireless investments considerably over the next 12 to 18 months
- The average growth rate of organizations (both large and small) looking to increase the number of devices they use over the next 12 months is 421%
- 75% of benchmark participants say they’re interested, or somewhat interested, in multimode products — devices that handle both WiFi and various flavors of wireless-WAN services
- Organizations with revenues of more than $1B report spending a median of $5,000 per year per mobile-enabled user
See? We’re all be living in a mobile world pretty soon!
